Electronic Election Process
Nominations
Part 1: Nominations
- In accordance with its bylaws, the BC Municipal Safety Association (BCMSA) will conduct its usual nomination process. Nominations will be accepted between April 11 at 3:00pm until May 22 at 3:00pm.
- Because voting will take place electronically in the days before the Annual General Meeting (AGM), nominations will not be accepted from the floor of the AGM.
- If an election is required for the eight (8) elected Director positions, the BCMSA will forward a list of all nominees to CivicInfo BC at the close of the nomination period.
Voting
Part 3: Voting (If an election is deemed necessary)
- Voting will open on May 26 at 3:00pm and close on June 4 at 3:00pm.
- When voting opens, an electronic ballot will be emailed directly.
- The ballot will include instructions on how to cast the ballot, and it will show the list of candidates. The candidates will be listed in alphabetically order by last name, unless otherwise specified by the BCMSA.
- Each ballot has a unique URL, with a token (a string of letters and numbers) that connects it to a specific voting representative. This ensures that each voting representative can only cast a single ballot.
- CivicInfo BC, as the BCMSA’s election agent, will resolve any issues with lost or misplaced ballots.
- If a regular member identifies a voting representative during the election period, the BCMSA will forward that information to CivicInfo BC, and CivicInfo BC will issue a new ballot.
Results
Part 4: Results
- If an election is deemed necessary at the close of the election period, CivicInfo BC will provide the BCMSA with the official election results, which the BCMSA will announce at its AGM on June 6, 2025.
