3. Background
2022 marked the end of the terms for two of the Elected Officer positions (2018-2022) and the ICA put out a call for nominations 4 July 2022 with a closing date of 29 July 2022. At the end of the call for nominations we received three nominees for President. The Vice-president Finance position elections are run through another process.
The ICA then proceeded to call elections for the position of President. 5 July 2022 a list of eligible members was posted to the ICA website with two balloting possibilities: paper and digital. ICA’s default position for balloting was digital.
Members wishing to vote by paper ballot had up to 8 July 2022 to make a written request via email to the Secretariat to allow both the sending and receiving of paper ballots in time for the final ballot count. All paper ballots had to be received by the ICA Secretariat by 29 July 2022 23:59 Paris time for the ballot counting on 1 August 2022. Paper ballots could be submitted by post, fax and e-mail.
Elections closed on 29 July 2022 at 11:59 pm Paris time and the ballot counting was carried out on 1 August 2022 by a member of ECOM.
