Clause 6
A motion to a membership meeting or to a representative assembly meeting can be
proposed by every individual party member or by a Social Democratic local
organisation which belongs to the local branch. A motion shall be sent to the local
branch executive within the period of time stated by the latter.
Clause 7
Members of the executive do not have the right to vote on the discharge from
liability for the executive.
Clause 8
Votes are by show of hands. The right to vote is not transferable. The election of
individuals is carried out in a secret ballot when called for.
In a secret ballot, the candidates are listed in alphabetical order on the ballot paper. A
valid ballot must list the number of persons who are to be elected. A ballot paper
listing more or fewer names is invalid. The person(s) receiving the highest number of
votes will be elected, unless the meeting decides that a simple majority is required for
election.
If there are an equal number of votes in a secret ballot, another vote can be held. If
there are an equal number of votes in a ballot where only two candidates take part,
the result will be determined by lot. If there are an equal number of votes in a show
of hands, the sitting chair will have the casting vote.
Clause 9
Proposals for candidates for election at the annual general meeting are sent to the
nominating committee within the period of time stated by the local branch meeting.
