DUFF was founded in 1972 to create and strengthen links between North American and Australasian fandom by a TAFF-like exchange of elected delegates (See a sample ballot form for more.) This page on the (unofficial) British TAFF site doesn't pretend to be a complete DUFF source – just an archive of recent ballot forms where available, with links to DUFF references in America and Australia. I will be happy to add HTML versions of missing ballots if anyone cares to send them. – David Langford
