While your SC elections were previously held in June, all SC elections will now be held in September. See table below for the revised seat expirations. When nominations open on 2 September I will announce the number of seats eligible for nomination. *** Nominations WILL CLOSE on 15 September with no extensions.*** If the number of candidates does not exceed the number of open seats at that time, staff will announce the candidates as selected without a balloting process--the policy removes balloting in that circumstance because it cannot effect the outcome.
