Dear Fellow Rotarians

Dear Fellow Rotarians:

As provided for in our recently amended Bylaws, we shall have the election of the Board of Directors for Rotary Year 2020-2021 on September 06, 2018 during our regular Thursday meeting. Here are a few guidelines regarding the elections:

1. In order for the elections to proceed, we need a quorum consisting of “one third of the membership” which is equivalent to 76 members present;

2. To qualify to vote, a member should have paid at least the 1st semester’s membership dues and candidates should have paid the full year’s membership dues on or before September 4, 2018 in order to be voted upon;

3. Candidates must have at least one year residency in Rotary Club of Manila at the time of nomination, otherwise the nomination will automatically be disqualified;

4. Members are required to vote for no less than 5 candidates. Ballots with less than 5 votes will be automatically nullified;

5. Electors will have to write the Full Name or Rotary Name with Surname of the candidate of choice over the space provided for in the Ballot. Check or X markings and erasures will automatically nullify the ballot;

HOW TO PARTICIPATE IN THE ELECTION ON THURSDAY SEPTEMBER 6, 2018

STEP 1: REGISTER YOUR ATTENDANCE WITH THE SECRETARIAT

STEP 2: MEMBERS IN THE QUALIFIED VOTERS LIST WILL BE ISSUED AN ELECTION STUB

STEP 3: MEMBER WILL GIVE THE ELECTION STUB TO THE COMELEC REPRESENTATIVE IN EXCHANGE FOR THE BALLOT

STEP 4: MEMBER WILL DROP HIS BALLOT PERSONALLY INTO THE BALLOT BOX.

We therefore reiterate our appeal to those who have not paid their membership dues to please settle this on or before Sept. 01 to qualify you to vote in the scheduled elections. Further, we encourage everyone to be present on Sept. 6, 2018 and allow your voices to be heard in so far as electing the leaders of our club is concerned. Should you need any clarification on the above, please do not hesitate to give me a call.

Sincerely, Jimmie, IPP JIMMIE POLICARPIO, Election Committee Chair
