Some people are having problems and most relate to their zip code. The password for the voting is based on the zip code as it appears in the member record. So if there is 5 digits that is what you use. But if it is the 9 digit version that is what you use.
In addition to that, there is an extra complication for those in the Northeast. If your member record has a 5 digit zip code with a leading zero, you only use the 4 non-zero code. That is because excel suppresses leading zeros for numbers.
But if you have a leading zero and your zip code in the member record is 9 digits with the hyphen, then excel treats it as a character string and not a number. And in that case, you include the leading zero.
Sorry for all the drama, but we are used to wood planes and hand chisels and this tech stuff is killing us.
Below is the instructions you will see on the site when you go to vote.
Also, posted else where, is the SAPFM member login process. We now use the email address not your "user name" you may have used in the past.

PLEASE READ ALL THE INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE YOU ATTEMPT TO VOTE
IMPORTANT: To Login you will need your last name and zip code AS IT APPEARS in the member database , not necessarily the 5 primary digits..
If your zip code has the 4 digit extension, enter it with a hyphen ( - ) between the 5 and 4 digits. (example 05550-1234 would be entered as 05550-1234).
If you zip code has a leading zero and no 4 digit extension, do not enter the leading zero (example zip code 012345 would be entered as 12345)
