Election Proposals

1. The GA can decide about number and functions of additional members of the Board by majority vote (more than half of the members present) only one year in advance of the meeting during which elections are performed. The Board is bound to that decision when preparing its election proposal.
2. The Board considers the nominations received prior to four months before the meeting of the GA and prepares an election proposal. The Board is not bound to the nominations received. The election proposal of the Board shall specify all positions to be filled and assign candidates to them. The Board should not contain more than two members from one country. In constructing the proposal the Board takes into account geographic, professional and gender diversity and European residency.
3. Nominations which are backed by at least ten percent of the membership and sent to the secretary or given to the Board prior to the beginning of the meeting (cp. 1 (2)) are inserted in the proposal of the Board.

Postal ballot

Members shall be reminded of the possibility of postal ballot. Members who are unable to attend the meeting of the General Assembly but want to vote shall indicate their inability to attend to the secretary (by electronic mail, telephone, telefax or normal mail) and request the necessary forms. The secretary shall send them a form to be signed by the member together with an envelope, one ballot paper per position to be filled in and a second envelope. The member shall fill in his ballot papers, put them in the envelope, put this envelope together with the signed form in the first envelop and send it to the secretary. Postal ballots shall be valid if the official ballot papers are used, properly filled in and the accompanying forms signed by a full or honorary member who will not attend the meeting of the General Assembly and if the ballots arrive before the meeting is opened.
