2.      You have attended one of the previous 9 monthly meetings.

3.      You live in an area that is or was once in the club's area (the 69th
 AD).

*NOTE:*  You must vote in Broadway Democrats as your home club; you can't
also vote in another club.



*HOW DOES THE CLUB VOTE?*

*Instant Runoff Voting*

*The club adopted Instant Runoff Voting in 2006. *

Each voting member will rank their 1st, 2nd, and 3rd choices, rather than
just casting a vote for their single top favorite. If no candidate receives
a majority, the candidate with the fewest votes is eliminated, and their
votes are redistributed in an instant runoff to the next candidate in the
rankings. Any ballot which runs out of ranked candidates becomes a No
Endorsement vote. *
