Current Bylaws

SECTION 4 - VOTING 

Voting shall be by secret ballot. An affirmative vote of at least 50 percent plus one of the club members in good standing present shall be required to endorse a candidate, rate a candidate, or take a position on a ballot proposition. The vote required is measured by all those eligible members "present," not just those "present and voting". The option of "No Endorsement" shall be included on the endorsement ballot for each race or ballot measure. 

Proposed Language:

SECTION 4 – VOTING

Voting shall be by secret ballot. An affirmative vote of at least 60 percent of the club members in good standing present shall be required to endorse a candidate, rate a candidate, or take a position on a ballot proposition. The vote required is measured by all those eligible members "present," not just those "present and voting". The option of "No Endorsement" shall be included on the endorsement ballot for each race or ballot measure. A candidate is required to get 60% of the vote to earn the Club Endorsement. If no candidate receives 60% of the vote, then the Club position will automatically be that of No Endorsement.
