BTU Election Updates: 3/16/21

BTU Election Reminders
Validation of candidates in the upcoming BTU election has been completed.  Based on the number of candidates no primary is needed for this election. Thanks to all who chose to participate in this process and congratulations to all candidates. You can see the list of validated candidates here. The numbers on this list refer to the number of signatures collected. 

Ballots for the election will be mailed on May 10 and must be received at the post office box by June 1st.  In-person voting will be held on June 2 at the BTU hall. 

In order to determine order of candidates on the ballot (except delegates) we will be using an electronic system called GIGA Calculator which takes names and automatically puts them in a random order.  This will be done on zoom on March 18 at 5 p.m., and candidates are welcome to observe. Email Denice and she will send you a link. 

Candidate numbers will be forwarded to our newspaper editors and added to candidate statements already submitted. Please check the list of candidates to be sure that your name and school/assignment are correct, including spelling and any nicknames included.  If changes are needed please email the Election Committee.

If you would like to provide a link to your campaign material please send it to Regina who will add it to candidate list on the website. Each candidate will be responsible for their own postings. Campaign rules and regulations for candidates are posted in the election tab on the BTU website. 

A Zoom candidates’ night will be held on April 15 at 5 p.m. All candidates except delegates will be given 2 minutes to speak. If you are planning to participate please notify the election committee.
