As a direct member city, your city is entitled to vote at this meeting. Based on the population as of the 2000 Census, each member city casts between one and twenty votes. The number of votes for each population range can be found on the table on the reverse of the credentials form. To be eligible to cast a city's vote, a voting delegate and alternate must be officially designated by the city using the enclosed credentials form. This form will be forwarded to NLC Credentials Committee. NLC bylaws expressly prohibit voting by proxy. City elected officials should be made aware of this request so that decisions can be made as to who will be the voting delegate and alternate(s). At the Congress of Cities, the voting delegate must pick up the city's voting card at the Credentials Booth before the Annual Business Meeting and must be present at the Annual Business Meeting to cast the city's vote. The Credentials Booth will be open during scheduled times throughout the Congress of Cities. Please return the completed form to NLC by fax 202-626-3109 on or before October 28, 2011.
