Dear Wisdom, all,

If you still haven't been received the check-in message or otherwise
have been unable to to check in, don't worry, there's still time. Just
send mail to Maryam Bakoshi <[log in to unmask]> or me if you
haven't already done so (there's no need to clutter this list with
individual problems, but of course we'll also pick messages from here)
and we'll sort it out.

We can add you to the voter roll manually in case the automatic system
does not work if we get email from you.

As Maryam is on vacation this week and I'm also traveling until
Sunday, we are not able to respond as promptly as usual, but
we'll go through all remaining problem cases on Monday.

I will also make an extra attempt to reach those who still haven't
checked in by sending a message from my personal email (hopefully
less likely to fall prey to spam filters).

Also on Monday we'll publish a preliminary voter list so you
can check you've not been accidentally omitted.

Thank you for your patience,

Tapani
