Elections

As announced previously, the elections for the new Executive Committee for 2009-2011 will take place during the 14th Biannual General Meeting.

Briefly, the procedure for voting on the day will be as follows:

- Only registered members are able to run for the 8 Executive Posts available. If you have not registered yet as a member, you may register on the day in order to be nominated (Lifetime membership is $100 + $10 registration fee = $110)
- All BPYs are allowed to vote (whether registered or non-registered).
- All attendees are to report to the registration desk on arrival where they will receive their voting form
- Registered members will be asked whether they wish to be nominated. If they agree, their names will be recorded and they will be introduced during the meeting.
- Registered members HAVE to be present at the meeting in order to be nominated. If however, you are unable to attend and have a valid reason and you would still like to be nominated, you should inform the Executive Committee in writing. The Committee will then decide whether to accept the reason for the absence and to submit his/her nomination in his/her absence during the elections.
- Once the list of nominees have been finalised, all BPYs will record on their voting form a maximum of ten people from the list they would like to vote for.
- The votes will be counted at the end of the meeting and the top 8 nominees with the most number of votes will be announced as the new Executive Committee.
- The Executive Committee will then meet separately at another time to decide amongst themselves who will hold which of the 8 posts (e.g. President, Vice President, Secretary,etc)

See you there!
