League Elections
Notice of Election:
Many local Little Leagues utilize the Sample Constitution (if your league does not, we recommend that the board review its current constitution and look towards adopting the Sample), which was written with the specific purpose of giving a local league a document that conforms to Robert's Rules of Order, State Laws, Federal Laws and Little League Rules, Regulations and Policies.
In a local league and its constitution, written notice of the election (Annual Meeting) is delivered to all regular members (also defined in the league's constitution) in good standing, at least 10 days before the election. The process is by mail, unless an alternate process has been approved by the membership (not the board) in advance of the Annual Meeting. The notice includes the date, time and place of the Annual Meeting.
Election Day:
Usually, the best time to hold the election is the last week of September. This is because the fiscal year for Little League Baseball, Incorporated, starts on October 1st of each year.
Election Day Procedures:
-
Determine if a quorum is present. If not, the election cannot take place.
-
Membership should be limited to those who qualify as volunteers. Leagues having difficulty obtaining a quorum usually consider all parents to be members.

-
Ratify the Membership and Membership list for those present, by election.

At this time, the Board of Directors should also appoint a committee to conduct the background checks of board members and other volunteers who provide regular service to the league or have repetitive access to, or contact with, players and/or teams - LLB recommends the board to appoint the President and two other individuals to handle the background checks. These two individuals may be on the board or from outside the board.
