Voting

In all other cases, matters submitted to a vote of the members must be voted on in person. Concerning elections to the Board of Directors, members may cast one vote for each vacancy. The term “paid-up member” is synonymous to “member in good standing” and means all dues paid thru the month preceding the scheduled membership meeting.
The ballots will contain blank lines so the names of additional candidates can be written-in if nominations are made and accepted at the membership meeting on the night of the elections. Anyone nominated by the membership at this time must be present to accept nomination. Any votes for anyone who has not accepted nomination will be deemed invalid and any such ballots will not be counted.

The absentee ballots will be collected and counted along with votes cast by the general membership the night of the elections. Those casting absentee ballots understand that they waive the right to vote for write-in candidates as who they may be is unknown at the time their ballots are cast.
Absentee ballots are final; anyone who is able to attend the election due to a change of plans after casting absentee ballots will not be given replacement ballots.
