AHSTS Elections
 
Running and Voting

  • All AHSTS members who benefit from fee reduction who do not find a least one business program ad for each production they are a company member of may not run in AHSTS Officer Elections and lose eligibility for Advisor and MVP awards.
  •  
    Any AHSTS member may vote in the Officer Elections.
  • The Technical Director and Assistant Technical Director Officer positions
    will be appointed by the AHSTS Advisor from eligible and qualified members.
  • In the event of a tie, the AHSTS Advisor shall make the final choice on the position.
 
Election Code of Conduct

  • The overriding goal of the Code of Conduct is to create an atmosphere
    where a fair, open, and positive election can be held.
  • All nominees are expected to maintain an atmosphere of respect and
    professionalism in their personal and interpersonal relationships—in and out of school in order to maintain a positive reputation of the Theatrical Society during elections.
  • Any attempt to smear, discredit, or in anyway conduct activities that hurt the reputation of a AHSTS candidate by an AHSTS member shall result in disqualification and expulsion from AHSTS.
  • During the Election Day nominees must make a speech.
  • Questions may not be asked during or after a nominee’s speech, but all
    AHSTS members are encouraged to speak to any nominee during the week before voting to ask questions about his/her candidacy.
  • Nominees should keep speeches short, two minutes or so, due to the short attention span of the membership. Their content only may include references to their qualifications.
  • The Drama Advisor and his/her election appointees may not in anyway
    attempt to influence the results of the elections.
  • AHSTS members may only vote after-school during the elections, unless
    they have previously arranged an Absentee Ballot with the Theatrical Society Advisor. Absentee Ballots will be available on Election Day only and at the discretion of the Theatrical Society Advisor.
