Form Issues

September 18th, 2009 at 11:44am | 18 Comments

So we’ve had a bit of a mix-up with the Elections Canada forms. The one we were filling out was a form for membership in an existing party, there’s a different one for the registration of a new party. We’ve updated the sign-up procedure to use the correct form and while it shouldn’t cause a problem if a lot of them are with the new form (according to the Elections Canada official that I spoke with), there is no guarantee. So I ask that people download the new form here, fill it out and mail it in, just in case they don’t accept the other one.

This was my fault, I did not understand the fine print well enough. It is all sorted out now however.

    Rob, do a mass email to everybody that signed up.

  2. Odemia says:

    So that others don’t have to chase down the email that instructed them where to send the form.

    Party Name: “Pirate Party of Canada - Parti Pirate du Canada”
    And mail to:
    “Rob Britton
    The UPS Store 355
    8457 boul. Newman Suite #102
    Lasalle QC H8N 0A2″

    Clearly not, merely delayed at worst. All it means is people may have to send in a second form, or more new people sending the proper form may be needed. I don’t think getting 300 people to send the proper form would be much of a problem.

  5. SpudsBM says:

    yeah but 300 people to resend there forms could take a while….

  6. SpudsBM says:

    i just hope it doesnt come to that

  7. mrG says:

    I can’t be certain, but I think that the new form is the same as the one I downloaded and mailed off yesterday — did you make this correction before Friday? I think I printed mine off on Thursday, possibly late in the day.

  8. rob.s.brit says:

    I made the correction right before I posted the blog entry, probably around 11:30am yesterday.

  9. Mike says:

    I’ll remail mine Monday, including a note that says it’s my second form.

  10. Ralph Honey says:

    Please Rob, email everyone that signed up before. It was just by chance that I happened to go to the web site this morning. A lot of others will be just waiting for news in the Papers. Best let them all know that a new form is required, we need this Party!

  11. Matthew Hall says:

    Mailing mine again tomorrow!

  12. Anthony Fehr says:

    This form looks the exact same as the one I sent in 2 days ago.

  13. rob.s.brit says:

    Anthony: If you got the form two days ago, then it is the same one. I posted the new form on Sept. 18.

  14. Shaze says:

    I’m not fucking buying stamps ever again, sorry Pirate Party.

  15. Brooke Grant says:

    Mailed mine!

  16. SpudsBM says:

    Shaze post your addrress and i shall send you a stamp

  17. Dwayne says:

    Uh, the email I got says to mail the form to:

    Stéphane Bakhos
    43 boul Samson #166
    Laval QC H7X 3R8

    Not to this “Rob” guy. What gives?
