(Amended by Provincial Executive - June 10, 1997)
2-23 Policy on Convention Election Campaigns
Nothing in this policy is intended to restrict in any way a member's
right to be nominated for office at Convention in accordance with our
Constitution nor does this policy require any candidate to announce
his/her candidacy in advance of the final call for nominations at Conventions.
A) Candidates, wishing to take advantage of the provisions outlined
in B or C below, must make a deposit of $100.00 which will be refunded
upon their acceptance of nomination at Convention. A candidate shall
announce his/her candidacy in writing delivered to the Secretary-Treasurer
by hand or registered mail.
B) Candidates announcing their intention to seek an office on the Executive
Committee, who make their announcement over 45 days prior to the Convention,
shall be entitled to place a statement not exceeding 500 words in a
pre-Convention publication, providing the statement is available in
time for publication.
C) Announced candidates shall be provided with a delegates list containing
names, addresses and available telephone numbers, not less than 25 days
prior to Convention, provided they pledge not to use the list for any
purpose other than campaigning; not to release the list to anyone for
other than campaign purposes; and to return the list together with any
copies made to the Union for destruction following the Convention.
