2012 RM Rep Kit

Elections to held October 24, 2012

Dear Member RM Administrator,

As you may be aware all even-numbered member RMs are required to hold an election for their APAS Representative this year. APAS elections closely parallel the election process for RM Councils.

APAS Representative Election Procedures

** The election is run in the same way as your municipal election. **

Nomination forms are submitted to the RM office no later than date/time posted in ad. Nominations after this time will not be accepted.
Sometimes there is only one person nominated, which would then mean that that person would win by acclamation, should they accept the nomination.
If there is more than one person nominated, and both nominees accept the nomination, an election must be held.
If an election will be held, you can let the APAS office know and ballots can be printed up and sent out to you.
Once the election is completed, or someone has won by acclamation, the recognized returning officer fills out the Statement of the Results of the Voting form and returns it to the APAS office.

** Prior to the election, RMs put a call for nominations ad in their local papers. APAS will cover the cost for this ad once a receipt is submitted to the office. In addition APAS will cover the costs for photocopying, etc. for any election related materials. **

The only election document that the APAS office needs to receive is the Statement of the Results of the Voting form. All other forms that were sent out to the RM office do not have to be sent back to the APAS office. You are free to use these other forms as you see fit. If you have any other questions, please call us at the office.

While copies of all necessary documents have recently been sent to your office by mail; to further assist you in your efforts, we have also posted the documents below.If you require additional information or printed copies of posters, etc. please let us know by emailing admin@apas.ca.

Please submit all invoices for costs incurred by December 1, 2012. This includes any photocopying costs or costs incurred for running an ad in your local newspaper.

Once the Representative has been chosen, please immediately let the office know his or her name and contact information. As you are aware, the elected Representative can run for any position within the organization from Director to President. These elections take place at our General Meeting held in December.

Please contact Brenda McBride, Senior Administrative Assistant or myself at the APAS office with any questions you may have.

Sincerely,

Nial Kuyek

General Manager
