Association adopts Election Buddy for January ballot; nominations due Nov. 30
Summary
The election committee confirmed use of Election Buddy, set nomination and ballot timelines, explained unique ballot identifiers, and discussed proxy rules and cutoffs for vote tabulation ahead of the annual meeting.
Speaker 5 reported the election committee’s work with Election Buddy, saying the vendor will receive the member list and handle voter questions. The committee set nominations to be in the box by 5 p.m. on Nov. 30 and targeted electronic and paper ballot distribution on the first business day of January (around Jan. 2). Speaker 5 said each ballot will have a unique identifier to prevent duplicate voting.
Board members discussed proxy voting rules and cut-off dates for results; the committee recommended closing polls a few days before the annual meeting so results could be tallied and emailed to the election committee. No final change to proxy policy was adopted during the meeting; the transcript records ongoing clarification and agreement to finalize procedures in December.
