If you wish to run independently, then eligible members must submit a written petition addressed to the Secretary (Gretchen Quinn) and it must be received at the Secretary's regular address on or before July 15th.
The written petition must be signed by three members the USKBTC, none of whom may be the spouse or a member of the immediate family of the nominee. The petition must be accompannied by the written acceptance of each such additional nominee signifying his or her willingness to be a candidate.
After all of that, the membership has the final vote, unless candidates run unopposed.
