Notice of election

If the original notice sent out announcing the nominations included announcement of the date, time and place of the election, no additional election notice is required. If the nomination notice did not announce the election, an additional notice must be given.

This notice must be “mailed to each member at the member’s last known address” at least 15 days before the election date. It should state the date, time and place of the voting and should, in addition, indicate which offices are to be voted on and, if possible, list the can14 didates. If there are more than two candidates for a single office, it is wise to include in this notice the date, time and place for any run-off election that might be necessary, otherwise, the local will be required to mail a separate notice for a run-off election if one is required.

If the voting itself is to be done by mail, a somewhat different procedure is used, and this is discussed under “Voting by mail”.
