The Board of Administration has determined that the vote will be open at 9:00 AM, Wednesday November 16, 2016 and be open until midnight, Friday, December 2, 2016. In order to be elected, a candidate must receive 50% + 1 of the unspoiled ballots. The results of the election will be made known through an announcement on the Ministers’ and Delegates’ Listservs.
