The Election Board has sole and exclusive authority under Article V, Section 2(d), of the Constitution to establish the schedule for all elections.
B. 
A full and fair election, in which all voters come together for an equal opportunity to vote for every eligible candidate, is most consistent with the Seven Grandfather Teachings. In order to comport with the MnoBmadzewen standard of fundamental fairness as a matter of Potawatomi custom and tradition, primary elections are therefore prohibited.

No election for Tribal Council, other than one duly scheduled by the Election Board pursuant to its constitutional authority, is permitted by NHBP law.

Nothing in this section is intended to prevent members from meeting to discuss who should run for office or who members should vote for.
