Bylaw 20(A): General Membership Meetings and Voting

By a majority vote, the Steering Committee may decide whether to hold general membership meetings in person or virtually, and whether to allow for electronic voting of the membership.
If a secure electronic vote is held, the Chair of Council shall provide instructions to all members regarding the rules of debate and the methods of voting. The outcome of a secure electronic vote shall be recorded in a manner similar to that of an in-person vote.
The Chair of Council shall make every effort to ensure that voting takes place under conditions allowing for full and fruitful debate and shall announce the results of a vote to Council as soon as is possible after the conclusion of voting. How members voted shall be kept confidential unless an audit is required.
Any electronic vote will normally remain open for at least 24 hours. Voting shall not take place on weekends.
