*Section 9.11. Counting of Ballots.

1. For President. If there are no more than two duly nominated candidates for President, the candidate receiving the greater number of votes is elected. If there are more than two duly nominated candidates for President, the ballot shall be designed to permit the designation of first, second, third, etc. choice. If no candidate receives a majority of the first-choice votes cast, the candidate receiving the lowest first choice vote shall be eliminated and the ballots cast for such candidate shall be redistributed in accordance with the second choice indicated thereon. This process shall be repeated until one candidate receives a majority of all votes cast or until only two candidates remain, at which time the one receiving the greater number of votes is elected.
    
2. For Other Elective Positions at Large. If there is one elective position at large to be filled, the candidate receiving the greatest number of votes is elected. If there is more than one such elective position of the same kind to be filled, the candidates respectively receiving the greatest number of votes are elected; provided, however, that in construing the foregoing with respect to positions on the Board, each Board position number shall be considered a separate elective position.
