Election Procedures
The committee and Returning Officer will use the “CUPE – A Guide for The Chair” resource to
facilitate the election.
We will begin the election ensuring that all members standing for election are members in good
standing.
The positions available for election are listed in the file linked below. The positions will be elected in
the order they appear on the list.
Members will be sent a list of all nominations on or about November 18, 2023. The elections
committee will continue to receive nominations until the November 25 meeting. Nominations
may also be received from the floor on November 25, 2023.
Need for a Vote
If there is the need for a vote the following procedure will be used:
Each candidate will have three minutes to speak about their qualifications for the position. If
there is an incumbent, they will speak last. After each candidate has spoken members may ask a
question that is addressed to both candidates. Three questions will be allowed in total, time
permitting.
During the elections, the chat room will not be accessible, and all participants will be muted. If
someone wishes to speak, they will need permission of the Returning Officer or Chair of the
meeting. Use the raise hand feature to ask for permission to speak.
If there are technical or procedural issues that need to be addressed, the elections committee
reserves the right to recess for a brief period to confer in a breakout room. If a vote is required, an online Zoom poll will be available for all participants. The Returning Officer and Elections Committee will monitor the voting process.
Regards,
The Election Committee
