Ballots
All elections to the Board of Directors shall be made on written ballots which shall…

  • state the number of vacancies to be filled, and
  • set forth the names of those qualified Members nominated by the Nominating Committee.
  •  be placed in an inner envelope with no identifying markings and mailed to the Members in an outer envelope bearing identifying information reflecting the name of the member, the lot or parcel for which the vote is being cast, and the signature of the lot or parcel owner casting that ballot. When mailing, the Secretary or delegee will mail with a self-addressed, stamped return envelope to the Members at least fourteen (14) days in advance of the date set forth therein for a return.

Upon receipt of such ballots Members may, in respect to each vacancy, cast as many votes for the persons nominated as they are entitled to exercise.

Note:  An election is not required unless more candidates are nominated than vacancies exist.

Responsibility
Upon receipt of each ballot the Secretary, or delegee, shall immediately place it in a safe or other locked place until the date set for the counting of ballots.   On the day the ballots will be counted, the ballots shall be turned over to the Election Tabulation Committee (ETC).  (See QHRRP 8000-120 – Election Tabulation Committee (ETC)).
