Heather S Posted November 21, 2019 at 01:03 AM Report Share Posted November 21, 2019 at 01:03 AM Our Bylaws state: "The Nominating Committee selects nominees to replace retiring members of the Board of Directors and posts the list on the bulletin board 2 weeks before the AGM. Additional nominees may be made by any 10 members in good standing by a petition signed by such members naming the nominees. Such petition list of nominees shall be posted on the bulletin board at least 5 days before the AGM." My question is: should this happen, (has not in the past few years) how would we go about selecting the Board by having multiple lists? Thank you.

Chris Harrison Posted November 21, 2019 at 01:12 AM Report Share Posted November 21, 2019 at 01:12 AM (edited) All the names listed on the bulletin board by both the Nominating Committee and petition(s) would be the members' choices come election time.

You would list all of the names for each particular office. For example, if the nominating committee selected one person for president and two others were nominated by petition, then all three names for president would be on the ballot or would be eligible to be written if a pre-printed ballot is not being used. If you are electing, say, five members to your Board of Directors, but there are now a total of eight nominees, you simply list all right nominees and tell the members to vote for up to five of them. edited to add: You vote by office, or position, not by slate.

That is your pool of nominees. You're voting for people, not for lists. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
