Article X - Voting Procedure

Section 1
At the time of election, the Nominating Committee will present two (2) candidates for the
office of President. The eligible voters present at the time of election will be asked to choose
one individual for the office of President. The individual receiving the highest number of votes
will be named President. The remaining nominee, if eligible, will be entered into consideration
for Vice President with a maximum of two other nominees. The eligible voters present at the
time of the election will be asked to choose two (2) individuals for the office of Vice President.
The two (2) candidates with the highest vote totals will be named Vice Presidents. The election
of Secretary and Treasurer will follow. Voting for the Directors shall be as follows: the
nominating committee chairman will announce the number of vacancies and the terms of
each. The (2) year terms will be voted on first. Each delegate will vote for the exact number
of candidates for the terms to be filled. Voting for more or less voids the ballot. The candidates
receiving the highest number of votes shall be declared elected. In case of a tie, a runoff ballot
will be taken. If there is a one (1) year term to be filled, all remaining candidates will be eligible.
The same voting procedure will be followed.
