Sites for future Worldcons are determined two years in advance by vote of the current Worldcon's membership. Members of Aussiecon 4 may vote for the site and committee of the 2012 Worldcon. 

You may cast your ballot by mail, or in person at Aussiecon 4. Mail your ballot to Site Selection at one of the addresses listed on the ballot.  The deadline for receipt of mail-in ballots has been extended to August 9th, 2010.  Voting at the convention will end at 6 PM on Saturday, September 4th, 2010.

Aussiecon 4 members who pay the voting fee and vote automatically become Supporting members of the 2012 Worldcon. 

Because only Chicago in 2012 has filed with the Site Selection Administrator, it is the sole bid on the ballot.
