IIISLA elections process to choose 12 members for central council is going on. Some of the non-serious member have withdrawn their names & final list of the valid nominations have been published. There are about 6000 good standing members of the Indian institute of insurance surveyors & loss assessor ( IIISLA) who are eligible to vote in the current elections but Majority of those are dis-interested in the exercise & may not be conversant with the voting process. Here is the voting methodology explained.
As the members are scattered all over India, the whole country is divided into four zones viz north zone, south zone, east zone & west zone. And out of the 12 central council seats 4 members are to be chosen as all India candidates which means that the eligible voters can vote for any four members. There is no restriction of state or zone. Overall you have 12 no’s of votes in hand, 4 for the all India candidates & 8 for the zonal candidates. The methodology of voting is being illustrated in the following example:
Example:
Suppose zone wise eligible members aspiring to be elected for four no’s of all India seats in this election are as under:
All India candidates for IIISLA central council election:
North zone 10
South zone 7
West zone 9
East zone 5
The above figure is example only as there is no mention of their zone in the list & they are shown as all India candidates & they will be listed as 31 all India candidates.
Now you can vote for any four members from any zone, like you can choose 3 members from north & one from east or you may choose two from south, one from east & one from west or you can choose all four from north. So you can make your permutations & combinations as per you liking & choose any four members from the list of all India candidates for central council election 2019.
Then comes the turn of your choice for 8 no’s of zonal candidates- two from each zone & in this case there is compulsion to choose at least 2 members from each zone. You cannot vote for three members from one zone.
Example: suppose there are about 47 member in all, aspiring to be elected for central council & their zone wise count is as under:
Zone wise candidates for IIISLA central council:
North zone 17
South zone 12
West zone 10
East zone 8
Now you have 8 votes in hand & you can vote for any two members from each zone. In this case you cannot vote for more than two candidates from one zone.
And that completes the process of election of twelve members for IIISLA central council who in turn will choose the president & other office bearers among themselves.
