§ 26.1-49-06 — Election of directors - Vote by mail

Directors of health provider cooperatives are elected under procedures set forth in chapter
10-15. A member may vote by mail for a director unless mail voting is prohibited for election of
directors by the articles or bylaws of the cooperative. The board of directors shall prescribe the
form of the ballot. The members shall mark the ballot for the candidate chosen and mail the
ballot to the cooperative in a sealed plain envelope inside another envelope bearing the
member's name. If the ballot of the member is received by the cooperative on or before the date
of the regular members' meeting, the ballot must be accepted and counted as the vote of the
absent member.
