Basic information and candidate information is listed on the web and it is possible to cast one's vote electronically as well. The voting link will be active during the election cycle.
The 2013 President-Elect of IEEE (who will become president in 2014) will be chosen in this election. The Institute carried an article where the candidates responded to questions about their plans for leading the IEEE in 2014. In addition the president-elect election, voters will choose a new leader for IEEE-USA and Technical Activities and as well as some Delegate/Director-elects for specific Divisions and Regions. Region 3's director-elect is chosen in odd-number years. Mary Ellen Randall is the present Region 3 Delegate/Director-Elect who will serve as Delegate/Director in 2014-2015.
Be aware that besides the vote for president, each of us potentially gets a different ballot depending on what parts of IEEE we participate in. For example, any voting member who belongs to a society votes for the Technical Activities Vice-President Elect. Only voting members in Region 2 vote for the Region 2 Director-elect. While it is confusing to explain, voting members get a customized ballot when they vote on the web as well as if they vote with the paper ballot mailed to them so vote for all positions on your ballot!
