In the past, there have been issues with members and the committee filling in ballots for other members. This is unfair to both candidates and the members. As a result, the following rules will now be enforced:

2.      Attendees are not permitted to interfere with the smooth running of the election and harm the interests of GYT

3.      Audio and video recording are prohibited; GYT will take video

4.      Anyone caught violating the rules will be escorted out of the venue and will be dealt with by the Board of Directors in accordance with GYT protocols

The following documents are enclosed for all members.
