Ballots Item 7 of the Nomination and Election Notice states that only one eligible candidate is nominated for an office, the candidate shall be listed on the ballot. However, the Election Committee has determined, in the interest of efficiency and avoiding voter confusion, that for this election, no ballots will be mailed out as a result of no contested elections and the candidate nominated for each office shall be deemed elected.  

Challenges or Protests 

Section 18.2(K) of the bylaws states that any challenge or protest concerning the conduct of the election or election results must be submitted in writing, with specific facts setting forth the challenge or protest, and must be received by the Election Committee within ten (10) calendar days of the posting of election results.   Pursuant to section 18.2(J)(7), if 

only one (1) eligible candidate is nominated for an office, s/he shall be elected without further procedures.  Because there are no contested elections, the above announced information constitutes the posting of election results under Section 18.2(K) of the bylaws, and any challenges or protests must be received no later than ten (10) days of the date of 

posting which replaces the February 28 deadline to submit challenges and protests listed in the Election Notice.

The report shall include candidate/issue vote totals, any challenges filed, and the names and contact information of the Election Committee members. Election results shall be posted for public viewing. All elected officers and Executive Board members shall assume office upon taking an oath of office at this Executive Board meeting.
