In accordance with the TAGT Elections Procedures, any TAGT member in good standing may declare him/herself a candidate for an open position on the TAGT Board before the process is finalized. If any member self-declares for an open board position, the position will then become contested and the process for resolving a contested election will be implemented. If no office or position is contested by self-declared individuals, at the close of the posted time the election will be deemed final and the nominated slate will be accepted as duly elected by consensus of the voting members of TAGT.
