Sec.  945.25  Nominations.

    For the selection by the Secretary of the members and alternates of 
the Idaho-Eastern Oregon Potato Committee, nominations may be made in 
the manner indicated in this section. Nominations for members and 
alternates may be submitted by producers or handlers, as the case may 
be, or groups of either thereof, on an elective basis or otherwise.
    (a) In order to provide nominations for producer and handler 
committee members and alternates, the committee shall hold, or cause to 
be held, prior to April 1 of each year, or such other date as the 
Secretary may designate, one or more meetings of producers and of 
handlers in each district to nominate such members and alternates; or 
the committee may conduct nominations by mail in a manner recommended by 
the committee and approved by the Secretary.
    (b) In arranging for such meetings, the committee may, if it deems 
it to be desirable, utilize the services and facilities of existing 
organizations and agencies, and may combine its meetings with others.
    (c) At least one nominee shall be designated for each position as 
member and for each position as alternate member on the committee.
    (d) Only producers may participate in designating nominees for 
producer members and alternates, and only handlers may participate in 
designating nominees for handler members and alternates.
    (e) Each person who is both a handler and a producer may vote either 
as a handler or as a producer and may elect the group in which he will 
vote.
    (f) Regardless of the number of districts in which a person produces 
or handles potatoes, each such person is entitled to cast only one vote 
on behalf of himself, his agents, subsidiaries, affiliates, and 
representatives, in designating nominees for committee members and 
alternates. In the event a person is engaged in producing or handling 
potatoes in more than one district, such person shall elect the district 
within which he may participate, as aforesaid, in designating nominees. 
An eligible voter's privilege of casting only one vote, as aforesaid, 
shall be construed to permit a voter to cast one vote for each position 
to be filled in the district in which he elects to vote.
    (g) Nominations shall be supplied to the Secretary in such manner 
and form as the Secretary may prescribe, not later than May 1 of each 
year, or such other date as the Secretary may specify.
