Between May 17 and 21 the display of the Electoral Roll and claims against the Electoral Roll can be made. Those claims will be resolved three days later by the Board of Directors and then the definitive Roll will be passed.

Presentation of candidates

The candidates will be presented on May 25 and there can be no fewer then 14 or no more than 21. That process lasts seven days and each candidate must have 2,095 signatures. On June 3 the Electoral Board will proclaim the candidates and give them the right to participate in the elections.
Electoral campaign

The electoral campaign will run between June 4 and 11 and that will be when all participants can promote their plans and ideas and canvas club members in a bid to win their votes. On Saturday, June 12 there will be a day of reflection when no campaigning can take place and the following day, June 13, club members will vote for a new president.
