How

Registration will be open from now through Tuesday, October 29, 2019. At the end of the registration period the Credentials Chair, will ensure that (1) district council members have the correct number of votes and (2) we have a quorum (1/3 of Presidents and Vice Presidents-Education).  The quorum is based on the number of eligible voting ballots and not the number of members voting.

Each District officer, Club President, and Vice President-Education will receive one vote for each office held. Where a member serves multiple clubs as President or VP-Education, they are eligible for one (1) vote per office per club.  Each member serving as a combination of District officer, President or VP-Education will be limited to a total of two (2) votes total regardless of the number of offices held.  No proxies are allowed according to policy.
