County staff outlines chair selection process; nominations, write‑in ballots explained
Summary
Justin summarized the customary procedure for selecting the board chair: any commissioner may nominate (including self‑nomination), no second is required, and if multiple nominees exist the clerk will circulate ballots and read write‑in votes until a nominee receives three votes.
Justin explained the typical process the board has used to select the chair and chair pro tem. He said any commissioner may nominate a member to serve as chair — including self‑nomination — and that no second is required. If there is only one nomination, Justin said the board would likely use a voice vote.
If multiple nominations are made, Justin said the county clerk will provide documents with each commissioner's name and commissioners will write in the nominee they support; the clerk will read the results because secret ballots are not permitted. He explained the process continues in rounds until a nominee receives three votes, at which point that person would be declared chair.
