With only 16 votes cast for the SEMA CC Rep Advisory Board position, the candidate receiving the most votes did not receive a majority of the votes cast as required by the Bylaws; and the remaining two candidates were tied. Thus, the EC was unable to declare a winner or determine two "leading" candidates for a runoff election.

The unprecedented situation was presented to the candidates and after discussion with and between all three candidates, Trish Elliott-Kashima has graciously conceded, allowing us to proceed with a runoff election between Paula Perkins and Timothy Stowell.

The runoff election will begin at 12:00 AM CT on Monday, 11 Aug 2025 and end at 11:59 PM CT on Wednesday, 20 Aug 2025.

All members of the SEMA region who were registered to vote prior to 1 Jun 2025 are eligible to vote in this runoff election.

New voting passwords are assigned for the runoff election. You can request yours at
https://www.usgwelections.org once the voting booth opens on August 11th. If you use a spam filter, please set it to accept mail from Regi...@usgwelections.org.
