- The Committee consists of 3 members (2 members and 1 Committee Chairman.) and 1 alternate.
- On the date of the election the committee and general public shall meet at a designated location.
- Anyone present can nominate themself or someone else, in good standing with GJHLL, for the elections. The nominee will be assigned a number. For example:
- John Smith nominates himself. He is assigned #1
- Jane Doe nominates herself. She is assigned #2
- All names and numbers are listed.
- Once all nominations have been assigned a number. Every person present, in good standing with GJHLL, will be given a slip of paper to use for voting.
- Voters will only list the numbers associated with the nominees on the sheet of paper that they are voting for. Nominees can only receive 1 vote per sheet. If 25 positions are available, voters can vote for 1 nominee or up to 25 nominees.
- After all sheets have been collected the Election Committee will convene in a separate room to count the votes.
-
The Election Committee will list the total number of votes for each nominee. Once all the votes have been tabulated, the nominees with the most votes to fill the open positions will be elected to the Board of Directors.
- For Example: if there are 11 open positions and 26 people who were nominated, then 11 of those 26 people who received the most votes are elected.
- The Election Committee will then announce the results.
- The election results and paper votes will be kept and stored for a recount/review at any time.
- Those who were elected will then meet with the entire board of directors to determine board positions. During this meeting board members will discuss open board positions and who will be assigned to those positions. If two or more members are looking to fill the same open position, the board will have a vote to determine who will fill the open position.
- GJHLL website will be updated to include all new members.
