Voting Procedures for Proposed Letter of Agreement 15

 

 

In order to protect the integrity of the vote and the secrecy of the ballot, we use a double envelope system.   When you vote, you will be given two envelopes.  The smaller envelope will contain your ballot.  That should be sealed and placed into the larger envelope.  The name of the voters, along with their signatures are  placed on the larger envelope. 

The larger envelopes will remain un-opened until the vote count.  They will be tallied to ensure that only members in good standing have voted, and that no member has voted twice. Then they will all be opened.  The inner envelopes will be shuffled together, before they are opened.  This will ensure the secrecy of the votes.
