Will need to update the date of Constitution on website and myNDSU
Discussed allowing unpaid members to vote in ACM elections so long as they have been registered as a member of the club
on myNDSU the month prior to the month the election held
Discussed not allowing paid members who have registered for membership the month of the election to vote
Added: giving the election committee the power to revoke a member’s right to vote if it invokes the member interfering with the election
Added: special events (duties of the Vice-Chair) can be delegated to the Member at Large or the Secretary
A final draft will be made soon after discussed with the Advisor and sent to the national ACM
