There are three vacancies on the Committee to be filled in this election.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Section members who wish to self-nominate as candidates should forward a short biography, including their institutional affiliation, to the Section Chair, Matthew Scherer, at\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/mail.google.com\/mail\/?view=cm&amp;fs=1&amp;tf=1&amp;to=mschere2@gmu.edu\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">mschere2@gmu.edu<\/a>\u00a0<span style=\"color: #ff0000\">no later than August 7, 2019<\/span>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Nominees who do not self-nominate will be asked by the Chair to consent to having their name on the ballot. An online election will be held shortly after nominations close.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">According to APSA online elections are administered as follows:<br \/>\n1. APSA will send an email to all current section members with a message from the Chair that includes the names of the candidates, candidate bios, the number of positions open, the voting dates, and a link to the ballot.<br \/>\n2. The ballot typically gives the candidates\u2019 names, and the option of choosing yes, no, or abstain.<br \/>\n3. When the voting period has concluded APSA will send a detailed report of the results to the Section Chair, who will convey the results via email to the section.
