Bylaws may also be amended through an electronic vote of active and associate members who are eligible to vote and have received the appropriate notice.
Proposed amendments to the bylaws by mail vote must receive a two-thirds (2/3) affirmative vote on the ballots returned to the Secretary/Treasurer in order to pass. Proposed amendments to the bylaws by electronic vote must receive a two-thirds (2/3) affirmative vote on the total of the ballots voted electronically and of those ballots submitted through the mail, if a member elects not to vote electronically.
