2. a biographical description focusing on their education, training, research, etc., relevant to the TEI.

A Note on Voting
Voting will be conducted via the OpaVote website, which uses the open-source balloting software OpenSTV for tabulation. OpenSTV is a widely used open-source Single Transferable Vote program.

TEI Member voters, identified by email address, will receive a URL at which to cast their ballots. Upon closing of the election, all voters who cast a vote will be sent an email with a link to the results of the election, from which it is also possible to download the actual final ballots for verification. Individual members may vote in the TEI Technical Council elections. The nominated representative of institutions with membership may vote for both the TEI Board and TEI Technical Council.

Voting will open in a few days.

Voting closes on September 10, 2018 at 23:59 Hawaii-Aleutian Standard Time (HAST) as it offers the latest global midnight.
