All,

For the upcoming year, if YOUR LEAGUE is not able to hold elections due to Corona Virus restrictions, Little League has approved the following and attached for the procedure to elect Board Members electronically.

Please read and review and if applicable to your situation, then please follow the guidelines and report the election results to me and update the LL Data Center.

Thanks

JP

Guidelines below and attachments above:

Annual Meeting of the Members: Due to the unprecedented circumstances presented by the coronavirus pandemic, Little League has authorized local leagues to hold their annual election remotely provided the following occurs:

Due to the COVID-19, local leagues may hold their annual election electronically provided they confirm the following:

• Notice of the meeting must be provided as outlined in the league’s constitution. Each league will be required to provide a notice of election to membership that provides for 10 additional days from what is currently outlined in the league’s constitution.
• Nominations are accepted in accordance with the current constitution.
• A quorum of membership must still be established in order to conduct the election, for this purpose the number of ballots submitted will establish a quorum.

Attached are templates to use if holding an electronic election: Please update to reflect your individual league and league’s constitution.

1. Notice of Meeting: Allow for an additional 10 days plus number of days outlined in constitution.
2. Nomination: Send out at the same time as Notice of Meeting.
3. Election: Allow for 72 hours (3 days) to collect ballots.
4. Election Results: Share after board has been voted on and after board of director are in position.  

Please note: if the league is using an online platform to conduct elections, notate such in the attached documentation. All areas highlighted in YELLOW will need to be modified to fit the league’s needs. Please remind leagues to reference their constitutions.
