After the presentation, nominations will open (see the link for how to nominate a candidate). Nominations will close once no further members wish to propose or second a candidate, and a member in good standing has moved to close nominations. It is therefore important for potential candidates to be online from the start of the session.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After the close of nominations, candidates will have the opportunity to address the online members for two minutes to introduce themselves.<\/span><\/p><p><b>Voting<\/b><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Voting will take place online on the Simply Voting website on December 3 (see the tab on online voting).

Another member of one of the AANTC communities must nominate or second their candidacy. It is recommended that those wishing to run find an AANTC member to submit their name and a seconder to support this nomination before the nominations. A member can nominate any eligible candidate during the nominations, but the nominee must be online before the nominations close for the position in question to confirm their acceptance of the nomination.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>Likewise, a person interested in being a candidate but who has not asked someone to nominate them may request the floor at the end of the nominations for one of the positions to say that they would like to be a candidate for that position. Members present online may nominate and second this person if they wish. Similarly, a person whose candidacy has been proposed but has not been seconded will still be placed on the list of candidates, and when nominations close, members will again be invited to support their candidacy.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>In the absence of a nominator and a seconder, their candidacy will be rejected.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-131a6db elementor-widget__width-inherit elementor-widget-tablet__width-inherit elementor-invisible elementor-widget elementor-widget-elementskit-accordion\" data-id=\"131a6db\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_animation&quot;:&quot;fadeIn&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"elementskit-accordion.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"ekit-wid-con\" >\n        <div class=\"elementskit-accordion accoedion-primary\" id=\"accordion-69f26a1bd6c02\">\n\n            \n                <div class=\"elementskit-card active\">\n                    <div class=\"elementskit-card-header\" id=\"primaryHeading-0-131a6db\">\n                        <a href=\"#collapse-e0ac4e669f26a1bd6c02\" class=\"ekit-accordion--toggler elementskit-btn-link collapsed\" data-ekit-toggle=\"collapse\" data-target=\"#Collapse-e0ac4e669f26a1bd6c02\" aria-expanded=\"true\" aria-controls=\"Collapse-e0ac4e669f26a1bd6c02\">\n                            \n                            <span class=\"ekit-accordion-title\">Identification<\/span>\n\n                            \n                                <div class=\"ekit_accordion_icon_group\">\n                                    <div class=\"ekit_accordion_normal_icon\">\n                                        <!-- Normal Icon -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<i class=\"icon icon-plus\"><\/i>                                    <\/div>\n\n                                    <div class=\"ekit_accordion_active_icon\">\n                                        <!-- Active Icon -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<i class=\"icon icon-minus\"><\/i>                                    <\/div>\n                                <\/div>\n\n                            \n                                                    <\/a>\n                    <\/div>\n\n                    <div id=\"Collapse-e0ac4e669f26a1bd6c02\" class=\" show collapse\" aria-labelledby=\"primaryHeading-0-131a6db\" data-parent=\"#accordion-69f26a1bd6c02\">\n\n                        <div class=\"elementskit-card-body ekit-accordion--content\">\n                            <p>During the nominations, all participants (candidates, nominators, and seconders) will be asked to turn on the camera and microphone of their device and clearly identify themselves by name, indicating the community of which they are a member.
