The Richmond Football Club Board has revised the Club’s election by-laws.
The revised by-laws will allow a more streamlined and cost-effective process in the conduct of a board election.
Consequently, members should have a greater period of time in which to cast their vote and return their ballot.
Consequently, members should have a greater period of time in which to cast their vote and return their ballot.
The revised by-laws require each candidate to submit their campaign information (limited to 100 words) to the Returning Officer to be included in a brochure which will be issued by the RFC. The brochure will also include the notice of the AGM, voting instructions, the voting form, and campaign information for all candidates participating in the election.
Each candidate will be required to pay for an equal proportion of the cost of producing the brochure.
Previously each candidate was required to produce at their cost one A4 page containing their campaign information, together with copies thereof, for distribution by the RFC to members eligible to vote.
This revised method of distribution of campaign information is consistent with that adopted in board elections of other similar organizations.
The amended Richmond Football Club Board election by-laws can be viewed below.
Should any member require further information relating to the revised election by-laws, they should contact Gary March through the Club.
