Board Vacancies !!.

Sorry K3, I don't really understand.
In the recent election that is what happened.
I entered my member number and voted. I went back to verify I had properly voted but was informed I had already voted and was locked out.

What I am worried about is that the information needed to vote is fairly public - member number and postcode.
Every time you enter an AFL ground using your member card I would think your details are gathered and verified to allow access.

By linking member number and postcode you get a unique identifier. ie you can't simply enter a random member number and get access. They must match.
But it doesn't link back and verify the person voting. An email address does.
But you can still vote if you have the email address in the database.
If you can't register a vote the normal reaction would be to assume that the system was faulty rather than someone had voted in your stead.
An automated response tells members their vote has been cast. If not them, then who?

This doesn't stop a fraud from happening but it does alert that a fraud has occurred. That's probably enough.

If it's as easy as that, it's open to manipulation, as I said I had to put in a password, same as my rfc website one to get in, but then again I don't have a postcode living overseas, surely our club wouldn't do that? Would it?

Well of course that's the really simple answer.
Randomly generate a password with each email or letter sent to each member with the election notice/candidate information and use that for entry.
Single use only makes it a lot harder to hack.

I simply feel that it's going to get a lot more difficult to secure electronic voting over the coming years for everything.
Might as well start looking at options now.

Why bother asking us to vote

Exactly.
Board members hand picked by the current board.
Should be obvious to all by now that O Niel and her cronies are taking the p!ss.
Love the way we are simply told of the new appointees.
Where's the input from the membership?

The bloke who finished a close third didn't even get an interview, then they wonder why no one but their mates puts their hand up
 
I'm sure the 2 new board members are well qualified, but it's the bloody process that infuriates me.

Unless you have connections with the Board, you have not got a hope of hell of getting through the Nominations Committee (majority Board members), let alone getting on the Board.

I doubt she would be still on the committee.
