WBAI needs 108 more votes from listener-members to reach quorum. (As of Jan 1, 706 had voted either by paper ballot or on the computer.) The staff, which votes separately for different staff candidates, has achieved quorum. (Staff members who haven't voted yet, should vote regardless!)
Your ballot has to be received by MONDAY, JANUARY 4, 2016, by 11:59 pm.
It is important that you VOTE. The future of Pacifica and WBAI may hang in the balance.
If you have a paper ballot that you didn't send in, it's too late to throw it in the mail. You need to walk it in to the station on Monday, Jan. 4th, between 6 pm and 11:59 pm.
You can still cast your vote online. For information on the candidates at WBAI, go to

Ignore that it says Pacifica Ballot Request/Replacement Form.
Be sure to place WBAI in the top slot, and click whether you are a listener-member or staff. (Volunteers are listeners, for the most part. "Staff" are not 'volunteers' but 'unpaid producers' mostly.)
When they send you back your unique PIN or Password, cast your vote here:
