<div>Hello, all,<br>
<br>
</div>
We are getting to the point in the year in which you'll want to be thinking about Monarch Voting!<br>
<br>
</div>
Voting will be open February 15 through March 15. You must have been registered for the award. When your registration was received by ISLMA, you were sent a login/password. You'll need this information to vote. If you have lost it, you can retrieve it
through the ISLMA Monarch page.<br>
<br>
You may submit your school's votes ONE TIME. You will collect your student votes, tally them all up, and enter numbers of votes for each book. Once you have logged in, you may not log in again to make edits.<br>
<br>
</div>
Here are some tips some libraries have shared for having their K-3 students vote for the Monarch Award:<br>
<br>
</div>
<p style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt"><span style="color:black">1. Consider private voting so children are not influenced by their peers.
<br>
</span></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt"><span style="color:black">2. Use the ballot template provided on the website. It is numbered.
<br>
</span></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt"><span style="color:black">3. Use a bulletin board, SmartBoard or other projection with numberred book covers. Non-readers can pick the picture of the</span><span style="color:black"> book they liked best and mark the corresponding
number.</span> </p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt"><span style="color:black">4.Make picture ballots</span></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt"><span style="color:black">5. Students put beans, pennies, or tokens in cans that have a copy of the book jacket.</span></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt"><span style="color:black">6. Use private voting booths.</span></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt"><span style="color:black">7. Remember </span>
<span style="color:black">voters must have read / heard at least five of the books.
<br>
</span></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt"><span style="color:black"><br>
</span></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt"><span style="color:black">Do you have any other tips for those conducting voting?</span></p>
