What if we have fewer candidates than we have open seats?

If there are fewer declared candidates than open seats by the eight weeks’ deadline, the deadline for declaring a candidacy will be extended by two weeks. If a seat still has no candidates six weeks before the election, the Board may appoint members (even if they have less than a year’s committee service) for seats that cannot be filled in any other way. As with an uncontested election, no election will be held in these circumstances.
