An election of World Aquaculture Society Officers, Directors, and Bylaws changes for the year 2019-2020 was held during December 19, 2018 to February 03, 2019. However, due to electronic voting irregularities, the Board of Directors decided to void the result and ask the membership to re-vote after fixing the Internet voting system.
The WAS Election Committee is now asking the membership to cast your vote again. Please, note that this is the same ballot approved previously by the Board of Directors. It contains the same candidates for President-Elect, Treasurer, and Directors, as well as the same proposals to Bylaws changes.
One change to the voting system is that member ID can no longer be used as passwords. Members that had not changed their passwords were recently sent new passwords (please, check your spam box if you did not receive the new password). If you had previously changed your password, that password is still valid and should be used.
To prevent multiple voting, only ballots with correct member IDs will be counted. When ballots are received at the Home Office the member ID will be checked against a list of IDs (no member names) in order to ensure an anonymous vote and to eliminate repeat voting. Note that proxy vote is not allowed.
You must login with your membership credentials to vote.
Please email Judy at judya@was.org if you require a pdf version or you can print from the link above and return by one of the following:

- Fax to +1-225-347-5408
Ballots must be received in the Home Office by May 29, 2019 either by online vote or by mail, fax, or email. Ballots received after this date will NOT be counted.
