Nominations to be on the Committee
Under the LCA constitution, any member of the LCA can nominate in writing for a position on the committee up to 7 days before the AGM.
If only one person nominates for a particular office-bearer position or up to 4 people nominate as ordinary committee members before the 7 day deadline then these people are automatically elected. If insufficient nominations are received for any of the positions before the deadline then nominations can be made at the AGM. If there is more than one nomination for particular office-bearer positions, or more nominations than the number of vacancies for ordinary committee members, then a ballot will be held at the AGM to elect these committee members.
You can nominate for a committee position simply by emailing your name and the position you’re nominating for to contact@lyneham.org.au. You will need two other members to endorse your nomination but if you need help finding them then email us and you can expect to find two current committee members willing to endorse your nomination.
