Voting will open on: Wednesday, November 13th at 9:30 a.m. and will close on Thursday, November 14th at 9:30 a.m.
The election webpage shall be the primary method of campaigning or disseminating candidate information outside of direct contact by the candidate with the members.
The following items about each candidate will be made available to the general membership beginning Wed., Oct. 23rd – Wed., Nov. 6th:
The Ballot shall consist of all candidates verified as eligible by the CRC for the position which they have applied. Each vacancy will be filled by the candidate who receives the highest vote count for that position. In the event there is more than one vacant seat for the same term of years, candidates shall be elected sequentially according to the highest vote count.
Should the number of vacancies exceed the number of applicants for Director positions, with consent of the candidate, the candidate with the highest vote count who was not elected to their preferred term, may be installed to the next lower open seat. This shall not be applicable to an officer position although officer candidates may choose to accept an open vacant directorship for which there was no candidate. The CRC shall make the determination and obtain consent from the candidates prior to the election taking place.
The election of Officers and Directors shall take place at the Annual Meeting by the tabulation of ballots cast in person at the meeting and ballots submitted within 24 hours prior to the tabulation of votes at the meeting by electronic facsimile or other legally recognized methods of voting. Printed ballots shall contain the names of all candidates and the offices for which they applied. Ballots submitted prior to the tabulation of votes at the meeting, as per accepted methods, shall be effective when received and certified by the CRC. Such ballots may be revoked by a member in person. For the purpose of determining whether the quorum requirements for elections of elected officers and directors are met, ballots received by electronic facsimile or in person shall be counted toward the required number or percentage of votes in the same manner as votes cast at the meeting in person.
The CRC will verify results at the close of the election. Elected officers and directors will be announced at the close of the Annual Business Meeting. In the case of a tie vote, the issue shall be determined by a runoff election to occur within seven (7) business days.
