Q: How many seats are open in the 2024 elections? Exact number to be determined, but there will be at least 4 open seats. Q: In a year that requires a new board president be elected, what happens if the newly elected President doesn’t get enough votes to also win a board member seat? If the newly elected President didn't get enough votes to also win a board "member" seat, they would still be president and the highest ranked 4 Board members would be elected. 2024 is NOT a year for a President Board of Director opening. The president candidate are not required to also run as at large Directors. Q: Can someone run for President but not Board of Director? Yes. The president and at large director elections are separate. The president is a member of the board, but doesn't need to run as a director as well if they choose not to. Q: How does HUB keep the election process independent and verify the results? Over 4000 organizations from municipalities to universities to unions rely on Simply Voting for safely executing their elections. HUB Cycling staff oversee the ballot process and once the election has started until the day it completes, only Simplyvoting Inc has access to the results. Once the election is over, Simply Voting sends a verified results report to HUB Cycling. These results are then passed on to a board appointed elections officer (a board member not running in the election or an individual not associated with the election like a former board member) who will then announce the results at the AGM. Q: How can people be involved if they run for the Board but are not elected?2024 Annual General Meeting Documents
