Elections
The district NYI Nominating Committee nominates district NYI members to be elected to the District NYI Council.
The District NYI Convention then elects the members of the District NYI Council from submitted nominations by majority vote.
A vacancy occurs when a council member moves his/her membership off of the district, resigns, or is removed from office by the council by two-thirds vote due to neglect of duties or inappropriate conduct. Should a vacancy occur among council members, the District NYI Council fills the vacancy by two-thirds vote if there is one nominee or by majority vote if two or more nominees.
The nominating committee may authorize the District NYI Council to appoint district ministry directors.
