1. Call for election: The regional Secretariat will make a call for election (no later than 23 July 2010)
2. Nomination period: Nominations shall be accepted for four weeks after the Secretariat calls for nominations (up to 20 August 2010)
3. Acceptance deadline: The nominees need to accept their nomination no later than seven days after the nomination period ends (27 August 2010)
4. Election deadline: The election shall begin no later than one week after the end of the acceptance deadline (3 September 2010) and end no later than two weeks later (17 September 2010)
Therefore, the votes would actually be cast between 3 September and 17 September 2010.
Please Note: AFRALO is free to adopt a different process.
