VOTING
Votes are determined as follows:
Each local chapter in good standing shall be entitled to send from its active membership, two to four local voting delegates and one alternate for each voting delegate to the National Leadership Experience in accordance with the following:
- Under 50 members—two voting delegates.
- 50–100 members—three voting delegates.
- Over 100 members—four voting delegates.
These delegates vote on the election of all FBLA Collegiate National Officers running for elected office and any bylaw amendments. These are determined from those members that are registered for the conference. A report will determine the number of votes based on registration and membership received by May 1.
The FBLA Collegiate Local Chapter Voting Delegation Registration Deadline is June 4, 11:59 p.m. EST
Candidates for elected offices will be elected by ranked voting. A majority vote will determine the winner for each elected office.
Definition: Preferential/Ranked voting is any election voting system in which voters use a ranked (or preferential) ballot to select more than one candidate (or other alternative being voted on) and to rank these choices in a sequence on a scale of 1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc. If a majority is not reached on the first ballot, the ballots of the lowest-placing candidate are redistributed to the second choice. This process of dropping the lowest candidate and redistributed to the next highest remaining candidate continues until a candidate reaches the majority.
