Any hustings not received by Midnight on 31st January will not be able to be circulated.
EBallot – to be circulated to AOCM reps by email, through survey monkey, from CS on Monday 1st February 2010, along with all hustings received.
Polling will be open from Monday 1st February to Monday 8th February 2010 – after this date the EBallot will time-out.
Counting is done automatically by the EBallot – and results will be notified by email by Thursday 11th February.
NB this is the first time that AOCM elections have been undertaken by EBallot, enabling reps to vote who could not attend the meeting – and enabling a wider canvass of potential candidates. Candidates may be those already serving as officers – but need not be; make this known in your institutions as non-reps are also welcome to stand.
