Voting for ACA and division officers and board members is under way, and your vote matters. Last year’s voter turnout was the highest we’ve seen in five years, and with six members vying for the position of ACA president-elect this year, we are hoping for equally impressive numbers.

To make online voting easier this year, all you have to do is log in as a member at counseling.org and click on the “Vote Now” button. This will automatically direct you to the Votenet site, where you will then be able to cast your vote for ACA officers. No additional user IDs or passwords are needed.

Voting will close in less than 27 days, on Tuesday, Jan. 31 at 11:59 p.m. ET. Only members in good standing as of Nov. 1, 2011 will be eligible. If you are unable to vote online or would prefer to vote with a paper ballot, call ACA Member Services at 800.347.6646 ext. 222 (Monday-Friday 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. ET) or email acaelection@counseling.org.
