6.F. Preparing the Ballot #18

Open kgrons opened 8 years ago

Suggest revising to include the opportunity for the EC to solicit additional or optional candidacy information to be presented as part of the ballot, but not required as part of the statement.

Current language: b. A candidate's statement, including biographical information and goals or objectives to be pursued if elected. Statements should be no more than 500 words.

This revision would re-inforce the fundamentals of candidacy information (name, goals/objectives) and allow for the opportunity to present a more comprehensive candidate profile for member review prior to voting. Could additionally provide more context if campaigning is nonexistent or uneven.
