NACo members set to vote July 20

At NACo’s virtual Annual Business Meeting, set for July 20 at 2 p.m. ET, NACo members will elect their 2020–2021 officers, consider bylaws amendments, review NACo’s year of collective achievements and conduct other association business. Registration for the Annual Business Meeting is free to all NACo members.

The deadline to register and determine your county’s voting delegate is Friday, July 17 by noon ET. Voting credentials attest to a county’s eligibility to vote and verify the number of votes they have for NACo elections. 

In order to vote, each county/parish/borough is required to: 

• Pay 2020 NACo membership dues, and  
• Register a voting delegate by noon ET Friday, July 17  

Registrants from NACo member counties can designate themselves as a voting delegate when registering as an individual for the virtual Annual Business Meeting. For the authorized voting delegates, individual registration to the Annual Business Meeting is mandatory. Voting credentials information cannot be accessed through group registration to the Annual Business Meeting.

To facilitate the virtual voting process, NACo encourages each member county to authorize one voting delegate.

NACo’s Reading Clerk, Tally Clerk, Credentials Committee and Parliamentarian, as needed, will monitor and verify votes as they are cast. 

The 2020 Credentials Committee members are:

After voting delegates and alternates cast their votes, the Reading Clerk will announce state vote totals (e.g. State 1 casts X votes for Candidate).

The vote totals will appear for everyone to see, and the Reading Clerk will announce all state totals, even after a candidate has reached a majority.
