Members may vote by mail or in person at the WGAW's annual membership meeting on Sept. 20. Ballots will be counted on Sept. 21.

In addition to candidates selected by the nominating committee, eligible members may also be nominated by petition. Members seeking nomination for the board of directors must obtain 25 member signatures. The deadline for submitting signed petitions to the WGAW is noon on July 23. Members may submit online nomination petitions by visiting the members-only section of the WGAW's website.

The WGAW will host its annual "Candidates Night" forum, where Guild members may meet the candidates and get answers to their questions, on Wednesday, Sept. 5, at WGAW headquarters in Los Angeles.

Guild members will receive candidate, non-candidate, and rebuttal statements, if any, with their ballots prior to the election. Candidates may also mail additional campaign materials at their own expense. 

The WGAW represents writers of movies, TV, radio and Internet programming.
