Constitution rules: The nominees should be a current Council Members or have been a Council Members in the past. Nominees should be fully paid up members of UKISCRS, and nominees should be proposed and seconded by current members of Council. Each candidate must have a different Proposer and Seconder i.e. each Council Member may only propose one candidate and act as seconder for one other candidate. All candidates are informed of their nomination, and agree to stand. If an Electronic Election Ballot is being conducted; the Proposer, Seconder and Nominee all need to confirm their participation in writing, by sending e-mails to the Secretariat. Each candidate must submit a 250 word mandate, to be put to Council, and circulated with the voting paper. Included in the statement by the nominee must be an agreement to withdraw, during their term of office, from any activities of organisations, or societies, whose activities compete with the activities of UKISCRS. This does not mean the nominee cannot be a member of another organisation or hold office within it, but they must not be in a position where they will be carrying out a function, within that organisation, at the same time as their Office with UKISCRS, as this would constitute a conflict of interest. A declaration of interest, of the nominee, must also be included in the statement to Council (in confidence). No candidate may canvass for votes. In the event of more than two nominations being received, the first round of voting by Council shall be to select the two nominees receiving the most votes. There shall then be a second round of voting, with only those two nominees who obtained the highest number of initial votes, going forward. In the event that 50%, or more, of Council Members “abstain” (or fail to vote) such election shall be deemed “Null & Void” and a fresh nomination & election called. In the case of an equality of votes the President shall have a second and casting vote. The full Constitution can be viewed here.
