> 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.

> vote whether or not to remove the individual(s) from the Registered Voter
> List and whether any additional action should be undertaken.

> 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.
>
