The Election Process

The UEC charter specifies two methods for generating a slate of candidates: (1) the UEC's Nominating Committee is charged with selecting a slate of candidates based on recommendations from the membership, and (2) members of the ALS Users' Association can nominate candidates by petition before and during the annual meeting by submitting each nominee's name to the UEC over the signatures of at least five Association members. The final slate is to be announced at the annual meeting. Voting is to take place as soon as practicable thereafter. Elected candidates take office for a three-year term beginning January 1 of the coming year.
