1. The CRO shall not vote except to break a tie.
1. The CRO may, if feasible, accept absentee ballots from full members. No absentee vote from a member shall be counted if the member is present at the time the vote is taken. The CRO shall make a best effort to ensure that absentee ballots are compatible with the method of voting chosen; if this is not possible (for instance, if the CRO is overruled by the membership), then the absentee votes shall not be counted.
1. Immediately after the vote is taken, the CRO will announce the results of the election and the winner will be removed from subsequent contests. If, due to lack of candidates (because there were no nominations, or candidates withdrew or were eliminated), there is no one elected to an office, then the members at the meeting will decide whether or not to hold extra elections in accordance with the procedure for vacancies. If they choose not to, this does not prevent the Executive or a group of members from calling extra elections later in the term in accordance with the usual vacancy provisions.
1. Following the elections, it is the responsibility of the new executive to select a System Administrator. The selection of System Administrator must then be ratified by the members at the meeting. If a suitable System Administrator is not available, then the executive may delay their selection until one becomes available. In this case the selection of System Administrator must be ratified at the next meeting of the Club.
1. Following the elections, it is the responsibility of the new Executive to select a Systems Administrator.

1. In the case of a resignation of an officer or officers, including the President, or if a vacancy occurs for any other reason, the Executive, members at a meeting, or any ten (10) members may call extra elections to replace such officer(s). If extra elections are held, they are held for all vacant offices.
1. Whenever extra elections are held, they shall follow the usual election procedure. If they are held after elections failed to elect an officer, then the nomination period may be shortened to less than a week in order to allow the extra elections to take place at the same date and time in the following week. The Executive (or the ten (10) members who called the election) may appoint a replacement CRO if the previous CRO is unwilling or unable to fulfill their duties.

We will once again be pairing groups of mentees with mentors to start and complete side projects.
🏆 Together, you will brainstorm project ideas, create roadmaps with milestones and achievements, and in the end you’ll have the opportunity to present your project to win prizes!
Applications for mentors and mentees have officially opened. As a mentee, you’re responsible for creating a project, collaborating with your group, and learning along the way. As a mentor, you’ll be tasked with helping teams of students and ensuring everyone stays on track. ✨
