You can place your vote easily with a click of the mouse, or a press of button.[/vc_column_text][/toggle][toggle color=”Default” title=”What if there is more than one Ward Church member in my family? Can we each vote?”][vc_column_text]It depends on whether you attend in person or by Zoom.
If you are in person, any member present can vote by voice vote.
If you are joining by Zoom, each member needs their own device (computer, tablet, or smart phone) in order to be able to vote. We recognize that this makes sharing a computer difficult if couples or families want to register separate votes. If you view the agenda in advance and determine the votes within your household would not vary, you may use one device, one vote.[/vc_column_text][/toggle][toggle color=”Default” title=”Will I be able to ask a question or speak to a motion?”][vc_column_text]If you are attending in person, there will be microphones available for you to ask any questions.
If you are attending by Zoom, you will be able to type your question or comment in the chat, or hit the “raise your hand” button to be called upon to speak. When called upon, you’ll need to “unmute” yourself in order to be heard. If possible, please enable your video while asking a question so you may be seen and heard.[/vc_column_text][/toggle][toggle color=”Default” title=”What is on the agenda?”][vc_column_text]You can download the meeting guide and annual report, above.
