Runoff Election Happening Now – Check your Email for your Electronic Ballot.
Runoff Election Ends April 6, 2020 at Midnight.
On behalf of the MAPS Executive Committee and the MAPS Election Committee, I’d like to bring you up to date about our election results for the three positions of MAPS Board.
At the conclusion of the election, which ended at midnight on February 29, 2020, Janet Stearns, who electronically set-up, monitored and implemented our online election, has informed our President April Whitt there was an individual with a clear majority of votes, plus three candidates with a three-way tie, who also had a majority of the vote at the conclusion of the election.
Our MAPS Constitution and By-Laws do not currently have language for a resolution with that election scenario. After much discussion, the MAPS Executive Committee’s final interpretation and ultimate election solution lies within Roberts Rules of Order.
A very long story short, according to Roberts Rules of Order, we need to re-run the election again, with all candidates except the candidate with the clear majority of the vote, who will be seated as one of the three winners. The other five candidates remain on the ballot and would be running for the remaining two seats for Board.
We will be in touch soon for the re-election and ultimate conclusion of MAPS election 2020.
