Body:

The LUV AGM is upon us - and this means it's time to vote in the committee. This year we are using an online election system (the same used by Linux Australia for the past few years - so if you're familiar with the LA election system, you'll be fine with the LUV one).

Stewart Smith is the returning officer this year, Stewart Smith. You can reach him at: returning-officer@luv.asn.au.

All election queries should be directed to him.

This is how the election will work:

• We are accepting nominations now, until the end of the 31st.
• A member needs to nominate somebody (you can nominate yourself)
• A different member needs to second the nomination (by nominating again).
• Once nominated twice (1st and 2nd), a member can choose to accept the nomination and enter in a spiel.
• From the 1st to the 4th of September, members may vote.
• The results will be announced at the meeting that night, with results being viewable on the internet later in the evening.

You will need to create an account in the election system (MemberDB).

This is approved by a human (to avoid spam and to catch people trying to cheat the system). Since this is a relatively short time scale, it will be checked often.

What you need to do:

• head to MemberDB to create an account;
• then, head to the election page to view the current status of the election. From here you can follow thelinks to nominate people, view results.

The positions we're electing are:

• President
• Vice-President
• Treasurer
• Secretary
• Ordinary committee member (4 positions)
