Election of committee

Decide on your voting system in advance and make sure it is explained clearly at the meeting. For example: Do you want to have a show of hands or a private ballot?

Will it be a 'first past the post' election?

You may want to arrange a neutral person to count the votes. Think about the materials that you might need to prepare in advance, for instance, ballot paper/pens, depending on how you organise your elections.

Make sure the minutes show who was nominated, the proposer and seconder for each candidate, the number of votes each person received, and who was elected for each post.

If there are fewer candidates than committee spaces available, all nominees can be elected without challenge.
