Candidate Bios | Election Procedures
Registration begins at 7 p.m., and voting at 7:30 p.m.
In order to vote you must be over 18 years of age, and a property owner in Oyster Harbor. You will be asked to show identification such as a drivers’ license and your name will be checked off of a copy of the most recent tax roll. You will be given one ballot package regardless of how many properties you own in Oyster Harbor.
The nomination committee’s slate will be presented and nominations from the floor will be accepted as well. Retiring officers and board members may run for any office.
Voting for the officers will occur first. As those votes are being counted by the volunteer vote counters (none of whom may be a person who is running for office), voting for the Board candidates will begin.
Votes will be counted immediately so results will be known immediately. A board containing all candidates’ names will be at the front of the room and vote counts will be presented to the meeting participants on that board.
All votes must be counted by 8:50 p.m., so please arrive early.
After the Election
Committee Chairs are NOT elected but are appointed by the President after the election. We have had great Chairs and committee members and Oyster Harbor reflects their efforts. We hope that the present Chairs and committee members will continue or that many of you will choose to Chair a committee or join a committee where vacancies need to be filled.
