ELECTION PROCEDURES
At PRE-LEG:
At Pre-LEG, each Hi-Y AND Tri-Hi-Y club may cast two votes for the candidate(s) of its choice. (The votes may be for the same candidates or split for two different ones.)
Each delegation will be allowed to select one representative to cast their club's votes. This representative must meet with the delegation prior to voting and must vote for the candidate or candidates selected by the delegation.
At the YOUTH LEGISLATURE CONFERENCE:
Voting booths from the Registrar of Voters Office will be used for individuals to cast their ballots at the Youth Legislature conference for the election of the Governor, Lt. Governor, President of the Senate and Speaker of the House. President of the Senate and Speaker of the House are determined through popular vote in respective chambers.
Votes for Governor and Lt. Governor will be grouped by district, with each candidate receiving a percentage of the district’s votes. All district percentages of each candidate will be added and the winner of each election will be determined by greatest percent of votes. In the case of a tie, we will have a run-off between the top two candidates for that position.
