Canvassing voting ballots.

CFR · 2024-01-01 · US · Title 7

(a) Canvassing of Form LS-379 shall take place at the appropriate county FSA offices or AMS office on the 6th business day following the final day of the voting period. Canvassing of producer ballots shall be in the presence of at least two members of the county committee. If two or more of the counties have been combined and are served by one county office, the canvassing of the requests shall be conducted by at least one member of the county committee from each county served by the county office. The FSA State committee or the State Executive Director, if authorized by the State Committee, may designate the County Executive Director (CED) and a county or State FSA office employee to canvass the ballots and report the results instead of two members of the county committee when it is determined that the number of eligible voters is so limited that having two members of the county committee present for this function is impractical, and designate the CED and/or another county or State FSA office employee to canvass requests in any emergency situation precluding at least two members of the county committee from being present to carry out the functions required in this section. (b) Canvassing of importer ballots will be performed by AMS personnel or any other person as deemed necessary. (c) Form LS-379 should be canvassed as follows: (1) (2) (d) (e) (1) Form LS-379 is not signed or all required information has not been provided; (2) Form LS-379 and supporting documentation return
