About digital signatures and the voting process
Who can sign a document with a digital signature?
Users with Adobe Acrobat 4.0 and later can use a digital signature
Why are digital signatures accepted in the voting process?
According to Article IV Section 1.2 of FAAST's Bylaws, "All members shall vote for Executive Committee candidates by signed ballot during the aforementioned Board meeting. Members not present at the meeting may vote by telephone ballot providing that with or after such ballot, a consent in writing setting forth the action taken is signed by the member."
Since FAAST accepts telephone votes, the Executive Committee has elected to accomodate members who are not physically present at the board meeting by also accepting e-mailed votes. The Bylaws require that all votes be signed, therefore, e-mailed votes must be signed either manually (and scanned to a file) or digitally.
How do I know if I have a digital signature?
You would have had to create a digital signtaure and it must be saved on your computer with a password.
