To cast your vote on an item, click on the appropriate radio button. If you choose to vote negative, affirmative with comment, or abstain with comment, a text box will automatically appear for you to provide your written statement. You can either type directly into the box, copy text from another file and paste into the box, or use the browse button (choose file button for Safari or Chrome users) to upload a document.   If you do not provide a written statement for an item for which you have voted negative, affirmative with comment, or abstain with comment, the system will not allow you to submit your ballot. A warning will appear that asks you to supply a statement or attach a statement file.
