The Worldcon 76 San Jose has published the 2019 NASFiC Site Selection ballot on their web site and distributed it to their members, according to <a href="http://www.worldcon76.org/entry/site-selection-ballots-are-online" rel="noopener" target="_blank">an announcement on their web site</a>.</p> <p>Members of Worldcon 76 in San Jose, California are eligible to vote on the site of the 2019 NASFiC upon payment of a $30 Advance Supporting Membership (“Voting”) Fee. This fee purchases a supporting (voting) membership in the 2019 NASFiC, regardless of who wins or how you vote. It is unrelated to any “pre-supporting memberships” (donations paid to any bid committees). Members can vote before the convention through conventional paper mail by printing the ballot and mailing it with payment, or they can e-mail a signed PDF of their ballot, or they can vote at the convention. Payment mailed in advance must be by check or money order in US dollars. If voting by e-mail or paying by credit card, members can purchase a “voting token” from the Worldcon 76 membership web site using the instructions published on the ballot. If voting at the convention, payment can be by cash, check, or credit card in US Dollars. You can also designate someone else to deliver your ballot to the convention on your behalf.</p> <p>Voting in advance closes August 11, 2018. Worldcon 76 must <em>receive</em> your ballot by that date. (Postmark date does not count.) Voting at the convention opens on the afternoon of Thursday, August 16, 2018 and closes at 6 PM Pacific Daylight Time on Saturday, August 18, 2018. </p> <p>Bids for future Worldcons are listed on the <a href="http://www.NASFiC.org/NASFiC-bids/">NASFiC Bids page</a>. One bid qualified for the 2019 NASFiC Site Selection by filing the required documents with Worldcon 76: Utah in 2019. However, World Science Fiction Society (WSFS) rules allow for write-in votes and votes for “None of the Above.” If None of the Above wins, there will be no 2019 NASFiC. Because of the rules on the counting of site selection ballots, the only possible outcomes are a qualified bid (including a qualified write-in) or “None of the Above” winning the election. Non-qualified bids (write-ins that don’t file the necessary papers, hoaxes, jokes, etc.) cannot win the election.</p> <p>The results of the election will be announced at the WSFS Business Meeting on the morning of Sunday, August 19, 2018.</p> </div> </article> </main> </section> <div id="secondary" class="widget-area" role="complementary"> <aside id="search-2" class="widget widget_search"><form role="search" method="get" class="search-form" action="https://www.nasfic.org/"> <label> <span class="screen-reader-text">Search for:</span> <input type="search" class="search-field" placeholder="Search …" value="" name="s" /> </label> <input type="submit" class="search-submit" value="Search" /> <label class="apbct_special_field" id="apbct_label_id64840" for="apbct__email_id__search_form_64840">64840</label><input id="apbct__email_id__search_form_64840" class="apbct_special_field apbct__email_id__search_form" autocomplete="off" name="apbct__email_id__search_form_64840" type="text" value="64840" size="30" apbct_event_id="64840" maxlength="200" /><input id="apbct_submit_id__search_form_64840" class="apbct_special_field apbct__email_id__search_form" name="apbct_submit_id__search_form_64840" type="submit" size="30" maxlength="200" value="64840" /></form></aside><aside id="text-2" class="widget widget_text"><h1 class="widget-title">Related sites</h1> <div class="textwidget"><ul> <li><a href="http://www.thehugoawards.org/">The Hugo Awards</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.worldcon.org/">The World Science Fiction Society</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.worldcon.org/">Worldcon</a></li> </ul> </div> </aside><aside id="text-4" class="widget widget_text"><h1 class="widget-title">Forthcoming Convention</h1> <div class="textwidget"><ul> <li><strong>2024</strong>, July 18-21: <a href="https://buffalonasfic2024.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Buffalo NASFiC 2024</a>, Buffalo, NY, USA</li> </ul> </div> </aside> <aside id="recent-posts-2" class="widget widget_recent_entries"> <h1 class="widget-title">Recent Posts</h1> <ul> <li> <a href="https://www.nasfic.org/2024/01/11/pemmi-con-publishes-souvenir-book/">Pemmi-Con Publishes Souvenir Book</a> </li> <li> <a href="https://www.nasfic.org/2023/06/29/2024-nasfic-site-selection-voting-open/">2024 NASFiC Site Selection Voting Open</a> </li> <li> <a href="https://www.nasfic.org/2022/09/04/winnipeg-wins-2023-site-selection/">Winnipeg Wins 2023 Site Selection</a> </li> <li> <a href="https://www.nasfic.org/2022/03/08/orlando-winnipeg-file-to-host-2023-nasfic/">Orlando, Winnipeg File to Host 2023 NASFiC</a> </li> <li> <a href="https://www.nasfic.org/2020/07/26/2020-nasfic-goes-online-only/">2020 NASFIC Goes Online-Only</a> </li> </ul> </aside><aside id="archives-2" class="widget widget_archive"><h1 class="widget-title">Archives</h1> <ul> <li><a href='https://www.nasfic.org/2024/01/'>January 2024</a></li> <li><a href='https://www.nasfic.org/2023/06/'>June 2023</a></li> <li><a href='https://www.nasfic.org/2022/09/'>September 2022</a></li> <li><a href='https://www.nasfic.org/2022/03/'>March 2022</a></li> <li><a href='https://www.nasfic.org/2020/07/'>July 2020</a></li> <li><a href='https://www.nasfic.org/2020/05/'>May 2020</a></li> <li><a href='https://www.nasfic.org/2019/07/'>July 2019</a></li> <li><a href='https://www.nasfic.org/2019/03/'>March 2019</a></li> <li><a href='https://www.nasfic.org/2018/08/'>August 2018</a></li> <li><a href='https://www.nasfic.org/2018/06/' aria-current="page">June 2018</a></li> <li><a href='https://www.nasfic.org/2016/08/'>August 2016</a></li> <li><a href='https://www.nasfic.org/2016/06/'>June 2016</a></li> <li><a href='https://www.nasfic.org/2016/05/'>May 2016</a></li> </ul> </aside><aside id="eu_cookie_law_widget-3" class="widget widget_eu_cookie_law_widget"> <div class="hide-on-button" data-hide-timeout="30" data-consent-expiration="180" id="eu-cookie-law" > <form method="post"> <input type="submit" value="Close and accept" class="accept" /> </form> Privacy & Cookies: This site uses cookies.
