We the undersigned voting members of the AAD petition for a membership vote to amend the AAD/AADA Bylaws to provide that all qualified candidate names and their position statements be placed on the election ballot along with the names and position statements of the candidates selected by the Nominating Committee. To facilitate a larger number of candidates and to assure that no candidate be elected without a majority vote, the Bylaws amendment should adopt rank order voting with automated run off.
