How the election process works




All “complete” nomination forms will qualify the Practicing Member for candidacy.
If there are more candidates than vacancies to be filled, a formal election will be held
during the AGM in accordance with the bylaws.
If there are equal or fewer candidates than director vacancies to be filled, the
candidates are declared elected. The floor of the meeting may then be opened up to
nominations to fill any remaining vacancies. The opening up of nominations from the
floor of the meeting requires approval of a resolution by the eligible voting members
present (majority vote required).
If a resolution for nominations from the floor is approved, any nominees will require the
recommendation of at least 2 “Practicing Members in good standing’ present at the
meeting to have their candidacy accepted. Subsequently, an election will be held to fill
any remaining vacancies, if there are more candidates than available positions,
otherwise candidates nominated from the floor will be declared elected.
