Who are the Inspectors of Election and what is their role?
The Inspectors are three Club members who have been appointed by the board of directors. One is appointed Chief Inspector and the others as Associate Inspectors. The Chief Inspector coordinates the work of the three Inspectors and interacts with the Club secretary on election-related matters, as well as with Club staff that have election responsibilities. The California Nonprofit Corporation Code requires the appointment of Inspectors of Election and gives them broad authority to supervise all aspects of the national election process for the Club. As part of this supervision, the Inspectors resolve disputes that arise during the election cycle and ensure the fairness of all aspects of the election in accordance with the Club’s Bylaws and Standing Rules as well as relevant sections of the California Nonprofit Corporation Code. The Inspectors also use guidelines published with the election schedule for each election cycle.
