- Bulk mailing and direct advertising techniques are not allowed. Bulk mailing for this purpose is defined as mailings of the same enclosures to more than 1 person. Bulk mailing encompasses both postal and electronic mailing.
- One on one personalized email communication is allowed by a candidate or by others on behalf of a candidate, expressing their perspectives (not those of others).
- Candidates may not contact Sections and Chapters for the purpose of advertising or endorsing their candidacy. Additionally, they may not encourage or promote the use of surrogates to campaign on their behalf.
- Candidates may attend District, Section, and Chapter meetings during the time period of their candidacy. Candidates may present on matters unrelated to their candidacy. They cannot present a campaign speech at any meeting. This does not preclude the candidate from carrying out their duties as an officer of a Section/Chapter or retaining a currently-held volunteer position.
- There is to be no malice toward other candidates.
Any breach of these rules may result in the Nominating and Elections Committee revoking the nomination of that individual for office.
