An independent Election Commission (EC) is responsible for conducting and monitoring the election. Our board terms are three years long. An independent EC comprising three members who are not on board is responsible for monitoring the whole process and announcing the final results. The EC carefully reviews all the nomination slates to ensure a fair representation of membership. The nomination slates are usually announced in October for an election year, and voting is done only via the online portal.
