Next Steps:

  • Voting Ballots will be going out to those who vote for Officer roles within the next day. An outline of who will vote and how votes are tallied can be found in the Bylaws and in the Call for Nominees article (https://community.joomla.org/blogs/leadership/3098-call-for-joomla-officer-nominees.html).
  • Voting parties will have 7 days to cast their votes.
  • Votes will be tallied and announcement of newly elected officers will be posted approximately 48 hours after voting closes.

According to the Bylaws (link below), existing Officers also vote for new officers. At this time, we only have two officers that will be voting: Sarah Watz (current President) and Joe Sonne (current Secretary). Expired and Interim Officer positions do not have voting rights.
