Site Selection Deadline Approaches

As discussed here, the deadline for voting for Worldcon site selection is nigh. If you don't get your ballot in by the end of July, you'll need to get someone to carry it to Japan for you. I was interested in reading this explanation of how Worldcon site selection works, which is substantially correct. I don't have time or energy to join that board to comment on why site selection doesn't allow on-line voting. (I expect that will eventually happen, but it will only work in a case where all of the bidders agree to allow it and to incur the processing fees for the Advance Supporting Memberships.)
