MA World Services has been collecting groups/meetings contacts primarily via meeting finder updates. In September 2022 many emails were sent contacting districts and the group/meeting contacts to confirm if they are the correct member responsible for receiving the ballot and facilitating the group/meeting’s voting process.
If your group/meeting has not been contacted please email [email protected].
The ballots information will be distributed by email, ideally directly to the member responsible for facilitating the group/meeting’s vote. That member will submit the group conscience with a unique voting link on the MA website. The voting page looks very similar to Marijuana-Anonymous.org/Vote however it has an additional section at the bottom of the page to submit the group conscience of Yes or No.
What happens to our group/meeting’s ballot if the designated member is no longer able to facilitate our group/meeting’s vote?
Ideally, the designated member who received the ballot from MA World Services will forward another service member of the group/meeting the electronic ballot and other necessary information to submit your group/meeting’s group conscience. If they haven’t, please do your best to contact them in order to request they forward the electronic ballot information prior to contacting MA World Services.
However, MA World Services is aware there may be extenuating circumstances where the electronic ballot cannot be obtained from the designated member such as, they are no longer attending the meeting and cease communicating, returning emails or phone calls from anyone in the group/meeting
Contact [email protected] to explain the situation and provide an email address for the new member designated to facilitate the group/meeting’s voting process. MA World Services will void the previous ballot and the new service member will receive a new unique voting ID and ballot.
