Since 2019 is an odd numbered year we will be holding elections for the position of Vice President, Secretary, and Player Agent. In order to be considered a person must nominate themself for a position. A person may also be nominated by another member of the league.

In order to be elected for one of the 5 Executive Board postions you must first be nominated as outlined above.

During the month of May a sealed election box will be located at Los Coyotes to collect ballots. In order to complete a ballot for your candidate you must be a member of the league and sign in. You will then be isssued one ballot to cast your vote. You may only vote once for one candidate for each postion open. Any ballots that have more than one candiate marked for a single position will not be counted.

At the close of the balloting all of the ballots will be counted in the presence of the President by no less than two responsible board members. The candidates will then be notified of the outcome.
