· Any nomination must be seconded before it can be put to the vote.

· Should there be more than one nomination a ballot will be conducted.

· The elected Chair will need to obtain an absolute majority of those present and voting – for example, Southwick PC has eleven members so the successful candidate would need to obtain six votes ( if all members are present).
