The Board of Directors may, of its own motion, submit any question to a referendum vote of the membership.
-
Any question, motion or resolution submitted for referendum shall be so framed as to be capable of a direct affirmative or negative answer and all members in good standing shall be entitled to vote.
-
Where a referendum is to be taken, the question, motion or resolution shall be printed on a ballot paper and be forwarded to each member of the PAR-BC who is entitled to vote. Ballots shall be forwarded to all members on the same day. The voting shall be secret. Notice as to the time within which, and the method by which the ballots must be returned shall appear on the ballot paper. A simple majority of votes counted shall prevail except as herein otherwise provided.

Prior to the sending out of the ballots, the Board of Directors shall appoint three Scrutineers and as the ballots marked "ballot" are received, they shall be turned over by the Director of Communications to the Scrutineers, unopened, and after the expiration of the time for receiving ballots the Scrutineers shall proceed to open the envelopes and count the ballots. They shall report the results of the referendum to the Board, as soon as possible after their report has been made, and the Director of Communications shall forthwith inform each member of the PAR-BC of the results.
