SICB 2022 Election Report
The 2022 SICB Officer Elections were initially open for one month, from May 9 to June 9. At the close of this ballot, we identified anomalies in some divisional elections, with several large divisions reporting small numbers of votes. After identifying and addressing a database error, the ballot then reopened for two additional weeks, from June 22 to July 6. A total of 281 votes for Society-wide offices were submitted during the 2022 elections, representing 12.1% of the membership eligible to vote.
