Hi SigmaJoy,
In my org, everyone gets a chance to vote for National officers. Since we are so small, I think we are able to get away with it. Here's what we do:
All candidates submit an application for a position in which they'd like to run for.
After all apps are in, the current national officers distribute a copy of each candidates application to each chapter president. In turn, the pres of each chapter will then distribute the necessary amount to the chapter members at a chapter meeting.
Each chapter gets one vote for each position. If there is only one person running for that position, we use Robert's Rules... RR says that if one person is running for a position, they get it by default.
The current national officers vote individually.
All this takes quite some time...we hold our national elections every other summer during our national convention. We usually start the process 3 months before our national convention takes place.
Hope that helps! If you have any more questions, let me know.
Welcome to GC by the way!
