Voting & Weighting

Voting


Only CMAHC members are allowed to vote on submitted Change Requests (CRs).  To vote, members should click the CR’s link, read the full CR and supporting information, then cast their vote. Voting options are found at the bottom of the submitted CR with options to “Adopt” or “Do Not Adopt.” 
 
Voting is open for 30 days. Members have until the 30-day voting window closes to finalize their vote. No votes can be changed after the voting window closes.
 
Voters are encouraged to additionally review the relevant TRC and TSC submissions prior to casting their vote.
 

Weighing

 
Voting has two categories:
  1. Aquatics Industry Voters
  2. Public Health Voters
 
As the MAHC is a model code intended primarily for use by public health officials, weighing is favored toward the Public Health sector. Public Health votes are weighed in a 2:1 ratio when compared to Aquatics Industry votes. This is expressed in the vote totals with each public health vote being counted as 1 vote, and each Aquatics Sector vote being counted as 0.5 vote.
