Introduction

Several methods wiil be used for voting at this
convention.

An electronic response system (ERS) method of voting
will be used for voting on resolutions and other matters
and for elections where applicable.

The Precinct Ballot Committee, known as PBC, will be
used for the major group of boards’ and committees’ elec-
tions, otherwise known as the general election, and oth-
erwise as needed. This method has been used at previous
conventions.

Written ballots will also be used as needed.

The chairman of the convention may also choose to use
the traditional voice voting and hand voting.

The Elections Committee shall have the responsibility
of validating the votes.

Election results will be announced at the time the next
ballot is ready to be voted on.

Voting delegates must be present to activate their key
pads before voting. Voting delegates not present (will) may
lose their voting privilege during that session.
