So with the incentive to use your vote being a prize, I also wonder if a lot more people will enter this competition. Is only one entry per household allowed to enter the competition and is there more than one prize. Is it "Yes" I want the chance of a prize or "no" I do not?
Do you only win if you give the correct answer?
If so what is it?
This touches on something I'm uneasy about. The CTC literature is generally promoting the "yes" vote. The vote isn't secret. It's therefore possible to surmise that some members may be tempted to vote "yes" simply to increase their chances of winning the prize.
As is obvious, this is probably one of the most important votes in the 100+ year history of the CTC. Any hint of bias in the voting procedure is a very bad thing. That, together with the significant number of incorrect forms already reported, makes this all look rather shoddy and unprofessional.
Hi toontra
Do you seriously think that members will vote Yes because if they vote No they think they will be excluded from winning a prize? I've heard of conspiracy theories but that takes the biscuit.
