Election Key Dates and Procedures

The Elections Committee conducts a blind drawing of candidate names which will determine the placement of candidate names on the elections ballot, candidate statements in the election packet, all communications and the order for asking questions at events.

If there are only two eligible candidates for the two available seats, the Board of Directors may declare that those candidates are elected, and the director election is concluded.

If any candidate wishes to remove their name from the election ballot, they are asked to notify the Elections Committee in writing by emailing electionscommittee@tahoedonner.com by 12PM in order to avoid confusion during the voting process and to save on additional printing expenses.

A variety of topics are discussed with the Inspector of Elections as the moderator. Topics are determined by member input. Members must submit topics to the Elections Committee by May 19 at electionscommittee@tahoedonner.com. There is not a live question-and-answer period during this event.

The Annual Membership meeting is held from 10AM-12PM. Hand-delivered ballots are accepted at the Annual Membership meeting from 10-11:30AM, at which time voting concludes. Replacement ballots are available until the conclusion of voting.

Prior to conclusion of the meeting, if a 25% quorum is achieved and the election results are certified by the Inspector of Elections, results (including vote count) are announced at the meeting and communicated to the membership via email and Tahoe Donner News.

If less than 25% of voters have submitted valid ballots, the failure to achieve a quorum is announced, and the meeting, along with the culmination of the Election, is adjourned to the following morning.
