POLLS ARE OPEN FOR POLITICAL FILM SOCIETY AWARDS FOR 2006
The ballot below asks members to accept the top film in each category by
February 28. The Executive Board will meet at 8481 Allenwood Road, Los Angeles,
on March 1 at 8 p.m. to count ballots.
HOW TO VOTE IF YOU HAVE NOT SEEN ALL THE FILMS
The three voting choices have special meanings. If you mark YES, you are
saying that you agree, after seeing the film, that the content merits an award.
If you mark NO, you have seen the film and believe that the content is
unworthy of consideration for an award. If you mark UNDECIDED, you have not seen
the film or just have no opinion regarding the merits. Consult the Political
Film Society website for reviews of all films. The deadline for all e-mail
ballots is February 28, 2007. Return to [log in to unmask]
