After your group has determined your group conscience on the Proposals in the Ballot, a designated person should then submit your votes using one of the links below. Please remember, only one Ballot will be accepted per registered group (meeting, Intergroup, or Region).
The Proposals that receive 66.7% ‘Yes’ votes on the Ballot will be added to the 2025 ABC agenda for discussion.
Voting on the Ballot will close on April 7th and the results will be published on April 10th.
To aid your group’s discussion, the Ballot Prep Committee has already held two Q&A Ballot Proposal Presentations (Town Halls). Proposals 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 8 were presented and recordings can be found on our web page: https://acawso.org/bpc/.
Two more presentations will be held:
Friday, February 21st at 9 pm Eastern US time (2025-02-21, 21:00 ET) - Proposals 1, 11, 12 and 13
Saturday, February 22nd at 9 am Eastern US time (2025-02-22, 09:00 ET) - Proposals 7, 9 and 10
During these meetings, the Proposal submitters have the opportunity to present further information about their Proposals, and attendees can ask questions. Each Proposal is presented at only one of the Q&A sessions. These meetings are recorded.
