That is usually what NPO membership coordinators due is verify membership status, so it
is
not outrageous to ask someone to fill out a form, get it notarized and mail
it
to someone to be entitled to vote.
A notary ?!? Well...I never had the use of a notary, even to receive an heritage :-(
Ant, in the United States a "Notary" is not the same this as a "Notaire" under the civil law. A Notary Public is someone who takes oaths and verifies the identities of individuals. They usually perform this service for a small sum, you can usually go to a public shop such as a pharmacy or perhaps a bank or savings and loan assocation or credit union and for a couple of dollars they will verify your identity. In Quebec we call this a "Commissioner of Oaths".
I suspect we will have to find easier ways to prove we are real citizens. Perhaps an id number, perhaps a copy of an official letter,
That is what it would be, basically a copy of an official statement that the person who signed this paper brought their picture ID to me and signed this document in front of me, very simple, really.
perhaps a web site with enough standing references to prove we exist...
VeriSign has some services along this line: http://www.verisign.com/products/asb/index.html
There are also online voter systems that exist: http://www.votenet.com/eballot/index_associations.html
