Following the collection of ballots, the Secretary or District Manager shall be responsible for the tabulation of ballots in order to determine the total number of votes cast for each candidate that is seeking election.
At the second and subsequent landowner elections*, the two (2) candidates receiving the highest number of votes will be declared by the Chairperson as elected to the Board of Supervisors for four-year terms. The candidate receiving the next highest number of votes will fill the remaining open position on the Board of Supervisors for a two-year term, as declared by the Chairperson.

Following the election and announcement of the votes, the Chairperson shall ask the Landowners present, or those representatives holding proxies for Landowners, whether they wish to contest the election results. If no contests are received, said election results shall thereupon be certified.
If there is a contest, the contest must be addressed to the Chairperson and thereupon the individual casting a ballot that is being contested will be required to provide proof of ownership of the acreage (or lot parcels) for which they voted at the election within five (5) business days of the Landowners’ Meeting. The proof of ownership shall be submitted to the District Manager who will thereupon consult with the District’s General Counsel and together they will review the material provided and will determine the legality of the contested ballot(s).
