How do officer elections work?
You can only run for one office. You must be nominated for that office… whether it be by yourself or another member. If you are nominated by another person you do not need a second nomination. If you nominate yourself you do need a second nomination.
You will be asked to give a speech on why you are running for the position, why you are qualified for the office, and what you will do for SATCA.
After you give your speech you will be asked to step out into the hallway while the other candidate(s) speak.
Voting will take place with you not in the room. Only paid members may vote. Marko, the president, will abstain from voting. In the event of a tie, he will cast the tie-breaking vote.
Each officer will explain their position’s responsibilities later.
Bylaws will be posted online tonight or tomorrow.
