ASC Officer Nomination and Election Process
——————————————————————————
Nominations:
The ASC Nominations Committee oversees the development of a slate of candidates for the elected offices, subject to the approval of the Executive Board. Society members are encouraged to submit nominations, including self-nominations. Members of the Nominations Committee may nominate, but cannot self-nominate, and cannot be considered as candidates for any elected office while serving on the Nominations Committee. Nominations must be submitted to the Nominations Committee by the nomination deadline, typically June 1. Once the deadline has passed, only nominations from Nomination Committee members can be considered, and then only if an insufficient number of nominations have been received and/or an insufficient number of individuals agree to run for office (two candidates for each position, ie., two for President, two for Vice President, and two for each Executive Counselor position). Once approved by the Board, the list of confirmed nominees will be announced to the membership. Non-student members in good standing may then place additional candidates for each office on the ballot if such candidates receive nominations from five (5) percent of the non-student membership in good standing. That petition is due to the Society office by March 15. The final slate, along with brief biographical information and a statement from each candidate, is provided to the membership.
Voting:
All non-student members with current membership status during the open dates of the election shall be entitled to vote. The open dates for the election typically run from the first of May until mid-June. Ballots include a place for write-in candidates.
Election Results:
Candidates for President-elect and Vice President-elect each receiving the larger plurality of 40 percent or more of votes cast shall be elected. In the event no person receives this plurality, a run-off election will be held between the two (2) candidates who received the most votes. For Counselors, the three (3) who receive the most votes shall be elected. Should resignation, removal or death require that more than three (3) Counselors be elected, the candidate(s) with the next highest number of votes shall be elected.
