I couldn’t believe how crappy this was. I see that you can pay and vote online so I buy a token and then find that I have to download and print a pdf and then fill it out by hand because it would not allow me to type on it. My handwriting is painfully bad. Then I have to scan or photograph it and send it by email. This is so 20th century. If I had known this I would have wrote a check and sent it by snail mail. Come on, at least have a pdf that you can type on .

Linda:
You’re right. That’s on me; I meant to put in the fields and got so rushed that I forgot. I’ve sent a new version with fields in it over to the Pemmi-Con webmaster, and when they get a chance it will be updated. I’ll contact you directly with the new version as well.

Click (busy today – I’ll vote this weekend).
The fillable form is up on the website now.
Something we found when testing the PDF (created in Adobe Acrobat Pro) is that when you use Firefox to view the PDF, it does not respect the tab order that is in the original form. This most notably happens in the section of the form where you check off how you paid the voting fee and indicate whether you are already a member or are enclosing payment on a paper ballot. The tabs work correctly in Chrome and in Adobe Reader.
Thanks. I was surprised by the lack of a fillable form. Thanks for this good work.
