View Candidate Information

For each candidate, OCNI publishes the unedited responses to the non-confidential nomination form. Once available (September 29), view candidate profiles here. Each candidate has provided a biography/resume and was asked to provide any campaign messaging that they wished to convey to the membership about their interest in the position, what they will strive to accomplish, and how their abilities will serve to strengthen the Board. This information can be found by clicking ‘Campaign Materials’ next to their name.

Eligibility to Vote

To be eligible to vote in OCNI Elections, each OCNI Full Member must designate one voting contact with a valid OCNI member portal account and must be a Member in good standing at the time voting opens.  Login to the OCNI member portal or contact Ruth Puckrin (accounting@ocni.ca) to find out who from your organization is eligible to vote. Please note you must be registered to vote by October 9, 2026.

Voting

The voting contact for each OCNI member organization must have a valid OCNI member portal account to be eligible to vote in OCNI Elections.  

  1. A voting link will be emailed to each organization’s designated voting contact. After opening the platform, the voting contact will receive a verification code by email to confirm their identity.
  2. Once the email address has been verified, the voting contact will be directed to the ballot.
  3. The voting contact must select exactly five different candidates. A ballot containing fewer than five selections or duplicate candidate selections will be considered spoiled and will not be counted.
  4. After the ballot is submitted, a confirmation message will appear. Because ballots are secret, OCNI cannot retrieve or reopen a submitted ballot. Please review all selections carefully before submitting, as a ballot cannot be changed or resubmitted under any circumstances.
