The Board members shall be elected in the fall by an open election among any current students or faculty members of Calvin College with their term effective upon election. Any general member may vote once, for one nominee, with the nominee getting the most votes, winning the position. Any nominee that is eligible to be a class representive will run for that spot. If no nominee can fulfill a position, that spot shall be left open until the next elections. Positions that are left vacant for any reason during the course of the year may be filled by special elections held during the course of the year.
All terms are valid until the next fall.
Before the tallying of votes begins, the number of voters should be checked, to ensure an odd total number of votes. A majority of Abstraction members must be a part of the officer vote in the Spring. If no one is available, the board may allow the seat to go vacant until fall elections or hold a special mid-year election. The Officers serve as an administrative task force. The President is responsible for the ultimate direction and organization of the club and shall ensure that the club functions as a unit.
