If there is more than a couple of days delay in the zip grouping announcement, deadline for the nominations for Area Reps ONLY will be extended by one week.

9. Only those persons whose names are on the list of eligible voting members will be allowed to vote. However, the EC wants to make sure that no ISGH member is denied the right to participate in this election because of an error in the preparation of the voting list. Dealing with missing names is extremely difficult on actual election day(s) and is absolutely discouraged.

6. All decisions of the Election Commission shall be made by majority vote of the members of the election commission present at the time of the decision. In all matters pertaining to the counting of the ballots and the announcement of the results, the decision of the Election Commission shall be final. All election announcements shall be made by the Chairman Election Commission.
7.

If the numerical count of the ballots difference in ballots cast for two candidates is between one-half percent and One percent, then the Election Commission by a majority vote of the EC may voluntarily conduct a recount.  Under no circumstances will there be a recount if the numerical count of the difference in ballots cast for two candidates is over one percent, unless the Election Commission votes by a 2/3rd majority to conduct a recount.
8. The Election Commission may unanimously recommend to the BOARD to cancel the outcome of the election in whole or in part if it determines that the election was not fair due to the circumstances brought to its attention that were beyond its control.

From the Desk of General Secretary

Dear Community Members Assalamoalikum Warahmatullah:

On October 20, we were informed about a potential vulnerability on the online member verification posted link, and took immediate steps to address the issue.

All the Board members were informed about the matter immediately, and we decided to look into all the details, and send accurate information to the members.

According to our IT consultant, an attack (hacking) was attempted towards the link. In any case, no private information was accessible. We reported this to authorities & it's under investigation.

We will keep you informed about the developments, but rest assured that so far it does not seem that any private information was obtained as a result of this hacking attempt.

As confirmed by the IT consultant, the link contained only public records. Mainly names, zip code, center affiliation, expiry, member’s type, voter #.

In addition few of the members, either where there was common name and same center affiliation, or whose names were not complete, had the basic address listed without city or state as an additional method of search.

According to our information, no private info was accessible through this link (ex. DOB, credit card, bank account, city, payment methods etc...)

Someone tried illegal hacking attempt but failed to get any above defined confidential information which was fully secure and was never uploaded at attempted site.

Rest assured that ISGH will pursue the perpetrators to the full extent of the law including filling criminal charges when warranted.
