This year, the election for the MML Board of Directors will have both virtual and in-person voting options. Each municipality is permitted to vote via either method, but not both. Here is a breakdown of the voting procedures and timeline.
Remember, each municipality can only vote once, so if a vote is cast on behalf of your municipality in the virtual portion, your municipality will not be permitted to vote again in-person. Since a virtual option is available, municipal proxies have been eliminated this year.
