Election Results The election results were disclosed by the League of Women Voters of Berkeley, Albany & Emeryville, who supervised the Cooperative Center Federal Credit Union Board of Directors election. Report from the Teller of Elections to Co-Op Annual Meeting, May 9, 2019 • There were no petition candidates for election to the Board of Directors this year. • A total of four candidates were contesting for two seats on the Cooperative Center FCU Board. Ballots were printed and mailed to all Cooperative Center FCU members. After the period for submitted voted ballots was concluded, members of the League of Women Voters came to the Cooperative Center FCU offices on May 8 and opened the ballot boxes. A total of 445 valid ballots were received. An additional 54 ballots were found to be invalid due to 1) missing member information, making membership unverifiable; 2) voting by the non- primary member on a joint account; 3) failure to vote on the ballot, or no ballot enclosed; 4) duplicate ballots from the same member; 5) ballots submitted by someone other than the primary member; 6) no documentation designating a voter for a corporate ("non-natural person") membership; and 7) voting for three or more candidates. • Eligible voters were verified and the ballots tallied. In the verification and tallying process, League members separated each ballot from any identifying envelope. • A staff member verified the membership of each voter to assure the eligibility of those casting ballots. League members entered the membership information for each voter on a spreadsheet, and they were sorted to assure that no member voted more than once. When the voter's eligibility was confirmed, the I.D. information slip was separated from the ballot and placed in a stack, and the ballot was placed in a separate stack of eligible ballots. • Ballots were counted by League members, and the tallies agreed upon by them. • Ballots and I.D. information slips are stored in separate envelopes in a vault at the Cooperative Center FCU offices. Election Results from Tallied Ballots from May 9: Amira Jackmon received 258 votes Mike Leung received 222 votes Deborah Matthews received 136 votes Jesse Palmer received 214 votes Credit union members are allowed to also cast their ballots at the Annual Meeting, this year in the evening of May 9. A total of 25 valid ballots were cast. In addition, there were three invalid ballots: two did not include membership information, and one did not have proper documentation to vote on behalf of a corporation. The valid ballots included 8 votes for Jackmon; 12 votes for Leung; 6 votes for Matthews; and 18 votes for Palmer. Adding these votes to the total tallied on May 9, the results were: Amira Jackmon received 266 votes Mike Leung received 234 votes Deborah Matthews received 136 votes Jesse Palmer received 232 votes You have elected Amira Jackmon and Mike Leung to your Board of Directors. Congratulations to the winners, thanks to all the candidates for your participation, and thanks also for honoring the League of Women Voters by selecting us to be your Teller of Elections. g. Q&A Session Member questions were collected, and those that could be answered during the meeting were responded to. IT and site redevelopment-related questions may be responded to via post-meeting communications including print and electronic newsletters, email blasts, the credit union website or other forms of direct mail.
