Hi everybody,
As a result of the changed structure of nzLARPS from previous years, the nzLARPS National Committee will be elected via postal ballot, to be conducted as follows. Please read the following post very carefully to make sure you understand how the election is being conducted, and what you need to do to have your say!
Nominations
If you want to run for one of the positions on the national committee, or you want to nominate someone, please nominate them/yourself in the thread title “nzLARPS AGM 2010 - National Committee Nominations”. The candidate must accept the nomination, and they must be seconded by a seperate person. The nominator, the seconder and the candidate must all be current members of nzLARPS. All candidates are encouraged to put forward a statement explaining why they’d be great at the position and what they hope to achieve. This should be at least 100 words long but ideally no more than 500 words long. The deadline for all nominations and candidate statements is Wednesday 13th October 5pm
Voting
If you live out of Auckland
nzLARPS members who live out of Auckland will be mailed their voting ballots and a stamped return envelope Thursday 14th October. You will need to complete it and post it so it returns to Auckland by Thursday 21st October. Please make sure to update your current address on the nzLARPS membership database, or to email secretary@nzlarps.org who will do it for you.
If you live in Auckland
nzLARPS members who live in Auckland will cast their votes for the national committee by filling in the ballot form at the Auckland Regional AGM. For those who cannot make it to the Auckland Regional AGM may specifically email secretary@nzlarps.org with their address and ask for a ballot form by mail, this must be returned by post or in person
Vote Counting
A Returning Officer will be elected at the Auckland Regional AGM on Thursday 21st October, and all postal ballots will be turned over to him/her unopened, along with all the votes cast in person. S/he will count the votes after regional elections have been held, and the National Committee will be announced there, and subsequently on Diatribe.
Remember, you need to be a member!
If you are an Auckland nzLARPS member, please do turn up. We need a large percentage of our membership present to qualify quorum, so come along and bring all your nzLARPS friends. If you are not yet a member of nzLARPS but wish to be, please email Rowena at secretary@nzlarps.org and she’ll set you up - it’s currently $20 for one year’s membership for adults, and $15 for students and beneficiaries. We have heaps of awesome events coming up, so the time has never been better to join
Any Questions?
This is the first time we’re doing this, so if anything is unclear, please pipe up and let us know and we will do our best to iron it all out.
EDIT: The deadline for receiving postal ballots is now October 28th.
What the hell was I thinking when I was typing? It’s meant to be October. Fixed now.
