JRS 39 Vermont Senate · 2023-2024 Regular Session

Joint resolution establishing a procedure for the conduct of the election of two legislative trustees of the Vermont State Colleges Corporation by plurality vote by the General Assembly in 2024

This bill establishes a specific voting procedure for electing two legislative trustees to the Vermont State Colleges Corporation in 2024. It allows all candidates to appear on a single ballot, with members voting for up to two candidates, and declares the two candidates with the most votes as elected. The resolution also provides that if a tie occurs for any vacancy, additional ballots will be held until a candidate receives more votes than the others. This change temporarily overrides existing joint rules to streamline the election process for this specific year.
