JRS 11 Vermont Senate · 2023-2024 Regular Session

Joint resolution establishing a procedure for the conduct of the election of the University of Vermont and State Agricultural College trustees by plurality vote by the General Assembly in 2023

This bill establishes a specific election procedure for selecting three trustees of the University of Vermont and State Agricultural College by the General Assembly in 2023. Under this resolution, all candidates will appear on a single ballot, and members may vote for up to three candidates, with the three receiving the most votes declared elected. The bill allows for additional ballots only if a tie occurs, ensuring vacancies are filled through a plurality voting system rather than requiring a majority. This change applies solely to the February 16, 2023 election and temporarily overrides existing Joint Rule 10 provisions.
