For immediate release

 

Thursday December 17, 2015

Winnipeg, MB

The results of the 2015 Manitoba Canola Growers Association (MCGA) Election of Directors were announced today by Returning Officer, Réjean Vermette with Avenue 4 Communications.

Six candidates were running for four positions. The successful candidates are as follows:

• Clayton Harder – Narol

• Bill Nicholson – Shoal Lake

• Jacob (Jack) Froese – Winkler

• Ron Krahn – Rivers

There were 8,455 ballots mailed out and 1,170 valid envelopes returned. There were 98 ballots rejected for the following reasons:

• Completed Improperly (using and “x” or check mark instead of placing preferential numbers)

• Written message on Ballot instead of vote

Note: There were 18 Return Envelopes containing other information and no ballots.

A total of 1,054 ballots were then counted in the tabulation.

The vote was conducted using a mail-in preferential voting system that allowed members to rank the candidates in order of preference. Candidates were required to win more than 50% of the active votes in any particular count to win one of the four available positions. Please refer to the MCGA website www.mcgacanola.org for detailed tabulation results. Every two years members are asked to elect four directors from across the province to represent canola growers at the board table for a four-year term.
