PRNs to Hold Elections

The PRN election cycle is upon us. It is time for PRN members to begin the process of determining who will serve as officers in the coming year. If you are interested in being a PRN officer or in nominating someone, please contact your PRN’s Chair.

Election Process

  • The Nominations Committee will consist of at least two individuals appointed by the PRN Chair. These individuals may be the PRN’s current elected officers.
  • Those who comprise a PRN’s Nominations Committee will be ineligible to run for office in that PRN’s election that year.
  • The Nominations Committee should prepare a slate of candidates and shall provide information to each candidate relative to the election procedures, a timeline, and a list of expected duties.
  • Whenever possible, two or three candidates for each office shall be up for election. If only one candidate can be identified, an election will still be held, with voters given the option of identifying a write-in candidate. When there are more than three possible candidates, it will be the duty of the PRN’s Nominations Committee to make the final selection of candidates for the slate.
  • The Nominations Committee will obtain a brief (250 words) biographical sketch or candidate statement from each candidate included on the ballot.

Voting

As in previous years, PRN elections will be held online. PRN members will receive an e-mail from ACCP that outlines the voting procedure. Members will use their log-in and password to access the ACCP Web site. Each member will then be able to access the ballot for each PRN of which he/she is a current member. Review your e-mail and the ACCP Web site for further news about online voting as the election draws closer.
