Any election involving two or more nominees shall be conducted by secret ballot. All Board election results shall be determined by simple majority votes.

Ballots in all elections shall be counted by the Secretary. If the Secretary is a candidate in any election, the President shall select a Board member who is not a candidate in that election to count the ballots for that election.
