[SCA-BMDL] PLEASE READ: Info about the Baronial Election

[Krista Cogan]

Below is a formatted version of the announcement you will be seeing
forwarded from our Storfrettir Blog. It contains important deadlines
regarding the upcoming Baronial election.

Hello Debatable Lands! Salve Accolens!
This message contains important deadline information for Baronial election
nominations and requesting ballots if you would not automatically receive
one. PLEASE READ CAREFULLY.
The nomination meeting for the upcoming Baronial election is coming up this
Sunday, November 13th, at the November Harvest Revel Social (which features
lots of other fun as well! Welcome all!).
You many nominate individuals or couples (others or yourselves) either at
the nomination meeting on Sunday, November 13th in North Park at the Rose
Barn (see link above for details) by voice or written note, or you may
nominate candidates in writing BEFORE the nomination meeting by emailing
Baron Brandubh at baron at debatablelands.org. The Baron will acknowledge all
emails with a reply. If you didn’t get a reply, he didn’t get your email.
Nominations will not be accepted after the nomination meeting closes (it
will close before the end of the Revel, exact time TBA). Please take a
moment to read and understand more details, found here:
http://debatablelands.org/blog/?p=5918
Nominated candidates then have one month to decide whether to accept or
decline the nomination – no need to decide that day. Individuals may appear
in more than one nomination but may only accept one – that is, no
individual may occur on the ballot more than once. Nominations must be
accepted in writing by Dec 13th, 2022.
Ballots are sent by postal mail. Once the ballot is set, mailing addresses
will be requested from the Corporate office. Eligible voters are those that
are on the SCA Inc’s membership list (that is, have a current membership
the SCA), are 17 years old or older as of the ballot tally, and who reside
in the Debatable Lands’ Zip Codes.
IF YOU WANT A BALLOT FOR THE BARONIAL ELECTION, PLEASE CHECK THAT YOUR
MEMBERSHIP IS OR WILL BE CURRENT AS OF DEC 1st, AND THAT YOU RESIDE IN
DEBATABLE LANDS’ ZIP CODES. See link in this post for a list of zip codes:
http://debatablelands.org/blog/?p=5918
IMPORTANT!! If you would not receive a ballot under these conditions, and
you have exceptional circumstances, there is a provision in our policies
for requesting a ballot. However, the deadline for such a request is the
date of the nominating meeting, or November 13th, 2022. It must be received
in writing by the Chair of the Selection Committee by that date. Again, see
our policies.
You may not request a ballot after the date of the nominating meeting (if
you wouldn’t have otherwise received one). You will not receive a ballot if
your membership is not current as of Dec 1st, 2022. PLEASE CHECK THAT YOUR
ADDRESS THAT’S ON FILE WITH THE CORPORATE MEMBERSHIP OFFICE IS CORRECT.
Baron Brandubh and Baroness Hilda are serving jointly as the Chair of the
Selection Committee. Contacting the Chair in writing consists of emailing
baron at debatablelands.org. You will receive a reply acknowledging your
email. If you don’t receive a reply, please contact us via a different
method to discuss.
It’s an exciting time for our Barony! See you Sunday!
In Levitate et Caritate, and Cheers, Baron Brandubh & Baroness Hilda
