Just when you think you have heard enough about cadidates and elections, you are hit with it from another side, MLA. Rest assured you will not have to suffer through Paris Hilton commericals or talking heads on CNN. All you have to do is view the list of candidates, make some decisions, and vote between November 5 and December 10, 2008. You don't even have to go down to a polling place and wait in line, it is all done online. For those of you without email addresses on file a paper ballot will be mailed to you.

You will be voting for the MLA President, MLA Board of Directors (two positions), and members of the Nominating Committee (nine positions).
