	According to the TEI [http://www.tei-c.org/About/bylaws.xml Bylaws], elections for Board and Council are held at the Annual Meeting (commonly called the “business meeting” or “members’ meeting” portion of the TEI conference). As the Bylaws explain in the sections for the Board and Council, “each elected [vacant] position shall be voted on as a separate matter with each Member entitled to vote receiving one vote for each such position”. This has long been interpreted to mean that each Member has equal voting rights rather than to specify a voting system in which the Member can only select one candidate rather than rank them. Accordingly, the TEI has long used a ranked voting system, first with manual tabulation and later using [http://www.opavote.com/ OpaVote] for automated tabulation.
