Subject: [BOARD] Motion 07-05 - Fraudulent Registration Procedures -
Discussion
| It has been moved by Mike Peterson and seconded by Linda Blum-Barton that
| the following procedure be added to the USGenWeb Standing Procedures:
|
| " Section --. FRAUDULENT REGISTRATION PROCEDURES
| (Adopted ----------------)
|
| Introduction:
| It is the policy of the USGenWeb Project that a member, where duly
| qualified, may cast only one vote per office, or per question in polls. In
| the event a member registers to vote more than one time the procedures as
| outlined in the Election Committee (EC) guidelines will be followed.
|
| Section 1. In the event the EC, per its current standard
| rules/procedures, reports a possible case of fraudulent registration to
the
| National Coordinator (NC)/Advisory Board (AB), the following steps will be
| taken:
| a. The NC will assign a sequential number to the report and send it to the
| complete AB.
| b. The NC will notify the appropriate State/Assistant State Coordinators,
| Special Project Coordinators, and individual(s) named in the report.
|
| Section 2. The NC will seek a volunteer from the AB to lead the
| investigation. If there are no volunteers the NC will lead the
investigation
| or appoint an AB member. All parties involved will be given the
opportunity
| to provide input. All documentation will be collected by the leader only.
|
| Section 3. The person(s) being investigated will be accorded the benefit
of
| doubt if reasonable explanations are proffered, and they will be given the
| opportunity for review and comment at each point of the investigation.
|
| Section 4. Based on discussion of the findings the AB shall determine by
| vote whether or not to remove the individual(s) from the Registered Voter
| List and whether any additional action should be undertaken.
|
| Section 5. The NC shall advise, via e-mail, the parties involved of the
| AB's determination with a copy to the Board-Exec mailing list.
|
| Section 6. In the event a possible case of Fraudulent Registrations or
| suspected case of aliases is reported to the NC or AB member by an
| individual (he/she being required to provide a convincing statement or
| sufficient documentation in support of the claim to justify the need for
| investigation) the following steps will be taken:
|
| a. The AB member receiving notification of a possible fraudulent
| registrations situation and/or suspected case of aliases will ask the
| notifying individual if he/she will agree to the disclosure of his/her
name.
| If so, the AB member will forward the eMail to the NC and Board-Exec
| mailing list. If not. the AB member will remove all identification of the
| sender from the eMail and forward the eMail to the Board-Exec mailing list
| and forward a full copy of the eMail to the NC.
|
| b. The NC shall notify the EC of the situation and ask the EC to check its
| files for possible multiple voter registrations and for any information
the
| EC may have that has a bearing on the reported situation.
|
| c. Section 1.a. through Section 5. will be followed."
|
|
| The motion is numbered 07-05 and is open for discussion. If you have no
| discussion, please signify by stating that you have no discussion.
