2016 INSTRUCTIONS Failure to vote the Official Ballot in a timely manner for two consecutive years results in automatic disqualification as an AIS judge. If for any reason it is not possible for you to vote this year, state so on the ballot and return the ballot by the deadline to the Awards Chair: Gerald C. Snyder, 225 Sky Line Dr., Sedona, AZ 86336 ONLINE VOTING INSTRUCTIONS: Detailed instructions will be on the voting website at http://www.voteirises.org by May 1. If you voted online last year or submitted an e-mail address on your paper ballot, an e-mail will be sent to that address when the system is available. Please go to the website and give it a try. We are available for you, if help is needed, but the system is easy and error-free! You may enter the voting system multiple times, tweaking votes or completing different sections. You may even have a copy of your votes emailed to you! PAPER BALLOT INSTRUCTIONS: 1. The ballot must be postmarked no later than August 1, 2016, to be counted. If it is postmarked by August 1 but received after August 10 the votes will not count, but you will receive credit for having voted. There is no special deadline for Japanese irises. 2. You must provide your name, address, e-mail, and region. Please sign and date. 3. Mark your ballot clearly by either of two methods: use a contrasting color (blue, red, green, purple) ink pen and place an X clearly beside the name of the iris or use a Highlighter to highlight the iris name. Do not use a pencil! Make your votes obvious and easy to find! 4. Enter the total number of votes cast in a category in the BOX beside the name of the category. Do not exceed the total number of votes allowed in each category, which is indicated in each section. If you exceed this number, your votes in that section will not be counted. You may always vote for fewer than the maximum and skip a category with which you are unfamiliar or do not have an opinion. 5. If you choose to skip a category, please put a 0 in the box. 6. Add correct postage to the pre-addressed return envelope. Postmark by deadline! The award winners will be posted on the AIS website, www.irises.org , as soon as tabulation is completed and published in the October Bulletin .
