The Zoom link will be open soon after the live-stream Sunday service ends; the Clerk and others facilitating the meeting will be with you as soon as they can transition from the Sunday service. Meeting attendees on Zoom will receive the online e-ballot as the presentations conclude, so that they are not distracted toggling back and forth during the presentations. At the end of the presentations, the e-ballot URL will be posted in Chat and on the Annual Meeting page on the church website. The Zoom folks will be asked to vote asap.

While the celebration and recognition portion of the meeting starts, the Clerk and assistant counter will tabulate electronic votes for all ballot items and add them to the in person votes for the final tally. The Clerk will alert the President to the ballot outcomes. The President will find an appropriate time between recognition presentations to present the information.
