The Elections Committee Chair person will be appointed by the President with the approval of the Board. Members of this committee shall serve a term of three (3) years, staggered so that one (1) member shall be replaced each year.

Each year in April the Elections Committee Chair shall appoint a committee for the purposes of developing a slate of nominees if he/she chooses.

The Elections Committee shall solicit nominees for the available positions. All regional/declared members of the local Chapter at all levels of AAMFT membership are eligible to serve in any office. The Elections Committee shall choose at least two nominees for each available position, unless no other candidates present.

Each year on or about the first Thursday in May, the slate shall be distributed to all members of the region the Chapter serves. The length of time allowed for return of the ballots shall be approximately 30 days. Ballots will no longer be received after the first Thursday in June.
The ballot shall be sent to and tallied by an unaffiliated group or individual as appointed by the Elections Committee Chair. The candidate who receives the largest number of votes for each office shall be elected.

Within 30 days of the election, the Chapter must notify FAMFT in writing of the results of the election and contact information for all winners.
