The Sunland Village East Election Procedures Manual, approved March 16, 2023, sets the official procedures for all general and special elections in the community, covering both manual ballots and electronic voting. It applies to the Election Committee, Election Officers, and the SVE Manager, and it is designed to minimize voter fraud, election fraud, and errors. Its main points include the appointment of an Election Manager and a two-to-three-member Election Committee, verification of the owner list and ballot envelope accounting, mailing of ballot packets at least 30 days before the election (40 days preferred), and secure handling of returned ballots through a locked ballot box and a Post Office Box with witnessed openings.
