Bylaw 20: Council Meetings and Voting

The Chair of Council shall make every effort to ensure that voting takes place under conditions allowing for full and fruitful debate.
A majority of the Steering Committee may decide to hold a council meeting in person or virtually and/or to allow for secure electronic voting.
If a secure electronic vote is held, the Chair of Council shall provide instructions to Council 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 announce the results of a vote to Council as soon as is possible after the conclusion of voting. How council members voted shall be kept confidential unless an audit is required.
Any electronic vote will normally remain open for at least 24 hours. Electronic voting shall not take place on weekends.
