For any position on your Final Slate of Candidates that has a single candidate, that candidate must be approved by the respective Region Director. This tutorial shows the process for requesting approval through the vTools Nominations application.<\/p>\n

Follow the instructions outlined HERE<\/a> to go through the Nominations Process. The approval step occurs after the Petition stage, and you reach the Final Slate of Candidates. This is the “Reviewing Petitions” stage.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Someone from the Election Committee must sign in to https:\/\/nominations.vtools.ieee.org\/<\/a> using their IEEE Account. Click “Administer” to navigate to your Section’s Nominations process.<\/p>\n

In the menu on the left, click on “Candidates.” Review each of the candidates to ensure they meet the eligibility to serve in the roles they have been nominated for. Click on the position names to select the positions for each candidate.<\/p>\n
