In Alberta, usually we do not elect the GM or DGM, since they are uncontested moving up the Grand Line. Electing the other GL officers at the annual communication is done by 3 votes for the three senior officers of each Lodge which may be carried by proxy by any one of them, and each MM in attendance has one vote. Thus, if you have a favourite candidate from your Lodge running for Junior Grand Warden, and you can get enough of your member MMs there to vote, he has a good chance of being elected.
Were there a contested election for GM or DGM, the same rules of voting apply, as does voting on motions and Constitutional Amendments.
Each District holds its own Annual Meeting many months in advance of the GL communication (ours is about 8 months ahead) at which we elect next year's District Deputy Grand Master, who will be Installed at the Grand Lodge Communication the following year. Thus we elected our "DDGM Elect" last October and he will be Installed at Grand Lodge in June of this year.
