board will handle the nomination process.

officers.
o This call for nominations should occur three times.
o The presiding officer shall announce that self-nominations are allowed.
• Once three calls for nominations are completed, the chair shall state that nominations are
closed.
• A vote on the positions, either individually or as a slate, shall occur.
o The person with the most votes is elected.
• The newly elected chair takes over presiding duties.
Commissioners are asked to elect officers to serve the April 2026- March 2027
term.
