EANC President Welcomes the XXIII Council
November 5, 2022
The EANC 2022 election and subsequent results were announced in the Estonian American newspaper Vaba Eesti Sõna (October 6, 2022), as required by the EANC Constitution and By-Laws.
The Election Commission reports that 609 eligible voters participated in the election of the XXIII Council: 467 paper ballots were submitted by mail, and 142 ballots were submitted electronically. As stipulated in the EANC Constitution and By-Laws, 90% of candidates are elected to Council (in this case 29 of 32 candidates). The ten percent of candidates (three – 3) determined by the least amount of votes are considered alternate delegates. The vote tally is summarized below.
Representatives serve a 4-year term, which begins with the 2022 Annual Meeting on November 5th. This election marks the first time that an electronic voting option has been offered by EANC.
We wish the new council an inspired and productive term!
