Any officer whose term expires on June 1 at the time of the adoption of these By-laws continues to serve until July 1. At least sixty days before the new term of office begins, the Secretary polls all eligible candidates for their willingness to stand for one or more of the Intergroup Officer positions up for election. The secretary posts the results of the poll to the Assembly. If only one candidate steps forward for any particular office, the Secretary repeats the poll for that office. If after the second poll only one candidate is willing to serve, then that candidate is elected by acclamation.
Voting continues for seven days after the date when the ballot is e-mailed or posted.
Voting by e-mail will always be available upon request of any Voting Member. Each Voting Member has one vote for each office. No individual may vote in more than one capacity. The Secretary names at least two vote counters, who may be any Voting or Nonvoting Members except candidates for office. The vote counters forward the election results to the Secretary or the other designated election official.
