Voting will remain anonymous beyond the COC, and every Lodge Chief as well as the Section Officers and any regional or national officers will be given a ballot. Each lodge chief and officer will use this ballot to cast their vote. The Section Chief and the Recognition’s Chair will tally the votes after receiving all ballots. Lodge Chiefs may vote for their own lodge. The lodge with the most votes earns the Spirit Award for the year. Each category is considered one vote.
