What is the election schedule?
The Nominating Committee starts its work in the fall of each year, presents its candidates to the board at its November meeting, and announces them publicly to the general membership following the close of that meeting. Petition candidates have until the official close of nominations in early January to collect the required number of signatures from members. Ballot statements are prepared by candidates and then printed in a ballot pamphlet that accompanies the ballot mailed to all members beginning in late January. Ballots must be cast by noon EDT April 25. The Inspectors of Election report the results of the election to the secretary of the Club and other key leaders within a few hours after the voting ends.
