DCSMEC was contacted by Presidential nominee Carlos Vega, requesting to
be removed from the ballot (Carlos has changed his mind and no longer wants
to run for President).
All the ballots have already been printed, in order to Facilitate Carlos request his
name will be crossed out at the ballot box prior to the members receiving the ballot.
We hope every member takes time to VOTE, only DCSMEC members are allowed
to VOTE!
