On July 1, 2013, you should have received an email from the RAO listserv giving the following information on the election:

Greetings RAO members.  We have an excellent slate of candidates this year for the Vice Chair/Chair-Elect and for two open Steering Committee positions.  In addition, there is a ballot referendum on the bylaws, which cleans up some typos and a few changes that clarify and reflect current practice.  Specifically, the chief substantive revisions establish the position of Web Liaison as a voting officer of the section, and detail the broader range of duties performed by the Communications Liaison.
