Who determines the election procedures for commission officers?

The commission bylaws are the governing documents that outline the procedures for the commission's operations, including the election procedures for its officers. These bylaws are created and adopted by the commission itself to ensure clarity, consistency, and proper governance. They typically cover critical aspects such as nomination processes, voting methods, and term lengths.

By relying on the commission bylaws, the commission ensures that its procedures are tailored to its specific needs and objectives, fostering a structured approach to leadership transitions. While state regulations and public votes can influence various aspects of a commission's activities, the specific processes for electing officers are rooted in the internal rules established by the commission. Commission staff decisions might support these processes but do not set the fundamental election procedures as established in the bylaws.
