The Nominating Committee will report back to the Board in time for their June meeting with the names of the candidates nominated. At that time, Directors may nominate additional candidates, with the constraint that they must agree to serve in writing before the ballots must be printed, usually the last week July.
[[Headquarters Staff]] will print the statements received by the date of the June Board meeting, either on or with the ballots, or in an accompanying ''[[Augustæum]]''. No mention will be made of those candidates who did not submit a statement.
Headquarters Staff will print the ballots and mail them with the statements not later than 2 July to all Society members in [[Good Standing]].
Members must properly mark their ballots and return them to Headquarters not later than 1 August. A July postmark is not in itself sufficient; the ballot must be received by the deadline.
Headquarters Staff will arrange to have the ballots counted by non-members in time for the results to be announced at the [[Annual Meeting]] on 18 August.
Should there be no objection at the Annual Meeting, or from the subsequent Board meeting if no quorum is had at the Annual Meeting, Headquarters Staff will destroy the ballots, retaining only the vote counts.
