Resolved, that ASDA’s Standing Rules of the House of Delegates Section 7. Elections, B. ‘Election Code of Conduct’ be amended to read as follows:
Each president/vice president or speaker of the House candidate must be officially nominated by a person of his or her choice at the House of Delegates Business Meeting II scheduled on Thursday morning. Nominators will be allowed 1 minute maximum to nominate and introduce their candidate, including a brief explanation of the candidate’s experience and previous ASDA positions held. Should there be fewer than three official candidates for president/vice president or fewer than one official candidate for speaker of the House, it is the responsibility of the House to nominate someone from the floor.
Each president/vice president and speaker of the House candidate must also designate an escort who will serve as a neutral party and escort each candidate through the caucuses. The escort will be responsible for monitoring the door and time.
Each candidate receives a copy of these guidelines and a statement to sign, certifying that he/she has read the guidelines; promises to abide by them; will immediately report any deviations of which he/she becomes aware to the officers of the association; and will notify and try to correct any supporter upon learning of an actual or potential deviation.
