Dear Colleagues:
The Constitutional Amendment vote is underway.
An email was sent at 9 a.m. on Tuesday, March 27 from Simply Voting via the MRSA email account. The email included a link to the online voting site, your elector ID, and password.
Please cast your ballot to accept or reject the following motion to amend the Constitution:
The original reads:
- 8.04 Candidates for the positions of President, Vice-Presidents and Treasurer/Secretary must have served a minimum of one (1) year as a representative on the Executive.
The suggested revisions are:
- 8.04 Candidates for the position of President must have served a minimum of one (1) year as a representative on the Executive.
- 8.05 Candidates for the position of Vice President are recommended to have served a minimum of one (1) year as a representative on the Executive.
- 8.06 Candidates for the position of Treasurer are recommended to have served a minimum of one (1) year as a representative on the Executive, and Accounting and/or Financial experience will be considered an asset.
If you did not receive the electronic ballot email, please contact the MRSA office. The vote will close at 4 p.m. on Wednesday, March 28; results will be shared on Thursday, March 29.
In order for the motion to pass, at least 50% of the membership is required to vote and 50% plus one (1) of the ballots cast must vote in favour. If the motion does not carry, the Constitution will remain as is for the May general election.
Thank you,
