IUSSP election procedures

The electoral list includes all (full) members who were in good standing by 30 June 2017.

Elections are now organized via the Internet, using a secure external online voting company, eBallot (formerly Votenet Solutions), an Internet voting service that provides online voting for a large number of associations and companies. Before the vote opens on 30 July, members will receive an email with their username and password so that they can access the ballot and vote.

The electoral procedure will be controlled by an Election Committee composed of Géraldine Duthé, Ann Moore and Julio Ortega.

The rules governing IUSSP elections can be found in Article 11 of the IUSSP Constitution.

Candidates for IUSSP Council

The Committee on Nominations nominated 2 candidates for each position on Council, including the two officer positions: the Vice President and the Secretary General and Treasurer. In the IUSSP Constitution, the Vice President succeeds to the President, who is therefore not elected directly. The ballot, however, will include a vote to elect the outgoing IUSSP President as Honorary President.

Members were also invited to nominate additional candidates for Council. One additional candidate was proposed (with the required number of members in support of his candidacy) and will be added to the ballot.
