[[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 (or their designees) will print the ballots and mail them to all Members with the statements not later than . The desired date for posting is 30 June, but posting as late as 2 July to all Society members in [[Good Standing]]is acceptable.
Members must properly mark their ballots and return them to Headquarters (or a designated [[Election Teller]]) not later than 1 August. A July postmark is not in itself sufficient; the ballot must be received at Headquarters (or the Election Teller) by the deadline.
==Ballot Counting==
[[Headquarters Staff]] will arrange to have the ballots counted in time for the results to be presented to the next regular that year's [[BoardAnnual Meeting]] meeting following the close of the election for confirmation. While it is desirable that the count be done by disinterested non-members, this is only required when there is some expectation that one or more of the items is contested, or when an issue may impact Headquarters Staff.
Should there be no objection at the above Annual Meeting or the following [[Board ]] meeting, Headquarters Staff will destroy the ballots, retaining only the vote counts.
