If I remember correctly there is a spot on the ballot for a write in candidate. If so and one gathered enough write ins to win could that person be invalidated if he/she did not meet the criteria set forth (ie Leader Member)?

If not or if the person did meet the qualifications then a write in campaign is one way to circumvent the EC in an election.

The EC would be hard pressed not to allow the person to serve if they in fact did win by write in.

Thoughts?
A write-in has been done before, successfully. The member must still meet the requirements of the office as defined in the by-laws and standing rules.
