First, announcing yourself in the relevant GLO forum would probably be helpful in establishing your credentials to speak on the matter.
Secondly, what experience do you have with chapters outside of your own, and how familiar are you with their rules?
Finally, there are a wide variety of ways for chapters to elect officers, some left to the local level, some written in to national rules or bylaws. Some groups do slating, sometimes that is 'secret,' sometimes it's run by the previous officers, sometimes it is the seniors or by people whose last names start with Q. Some do ballots, some raise hands, some might have ritual requirements for the office (must look good in giant dove costume).
But unless you're in the group, or go around reading bylaws of every group, you really don't know what the national rules are.
