Rule 128. Commissioner Impartiality
(c) A Commissioner is disqualified from voting or otherwise participating in the nominating process so long as a member of the Commissioner's family (spouse, child, parent, sibling, in-law, aunt, uncle, nephew, niece, grandparent, grandchild, first cousin, or step-relative in any of these relationships) is an applicant under consideration for nomination. A Commissioner is disqualified from voting on an applicant who currently works in the same company, firm or organization as the Commissioner. A Commissioner shall disqualify himself or herself in any proceeding in which the Commissioner's impartiality about an applicant might reasonably be questioned. If a Commissioner's impartiality is called into question by any Commissioner, the Chair will call for a vote on the matter. Upon a majority vote, the Commissioner will be disqualified from voting on the applicant.
(e) A Commissioner shall not communicate verbally or in writing with an applicant from the time the application is submitted until nominations are submitted to the appointing official(s), about the application, the contents of the application, the Independent Redistricting Commission, the Commission, the nomination process, or any other matters related to the application.
