Section 23: OPA Elections Subject: OPA Election Update Msg# 1189747

The OPA "Election Issue" of the OPA Report is now in the mailboxes of most association members.
It is called the "Election Issue" because it contains all the introductory statements and answers to three questions posed by the Elections Committee. This is likely the same information mailed to every eligible voter with the ballot packages finally arriving via the USPS. Several pages in the report contain red boxes with the following text: "VOTE AUGUST 8 BY 4 P.M." The fact is - you need to vote well prior to August 8 because the ballot is due in Washington State by 4PM on August 8 and Eastern Daylight Time at that. Maybe I missed it, perhaps lost in the profitable endless outside advertising that seems to be the primary focus, but there is zero mention of a drop box in the police station for returning board election ballots. |

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: OPA offers ballot drop box and expedited delivery to address election ballot delay Ballots should arrive this week (July 24, 2023) In response to the recent delay in members receiving their election ballots, the Ocean Pines Elections Committee is taking action to ensure the integrity and efficiency of the voting process.Elections Committee Chairperson Tom Piatti said the lateness is not associated with the U.S. Postal Service and that ballots should arrive this week. “Homeowners should immediately return their ballot by USPS mail, as stated in the enclosed voting instructions,” he said. To provide expedited local service, Piatti said the Association has set up a secure drop box at the police station, allowing members to conveniently drop off their completed ballots. Those ballots will be shipped to the elections contractor via overnight express mail. "We recognize the importance of providing our members with a seamless voting experience," Piatti said. "In light of the ballot delay, we are proactively implementing a drop box solution to allow our members to submit their ballots with ease." The drop box will be operational starting on Monday, July 24. Piatti added that the ballot receipt deadline to the Washington state elections contractor is still Tuesday, Aug. 8.
