Those who are interested send a letter to the Grand Secretary announcing interest in being elected to the "bottom of the line," Junior Grand Steward. Campaigning is supposed to be kept to a minimum.

Grand Master

From "The Minnesota Mason" July-August 2001:
GL officers who are in line for the office of GM in the next few years have agreed to pick their successors through an interview process. Each Nov several potential candidates for the office of JGS will be interviewed. Line Officers will limit the number to 3 or 4, who will be judged on commitment, experience, availability, and leadership. Formerly, the incoming GM picked the next lowest line officer. The GL recently voted to shorten the Grand Lodge Line to 9 progressive line officers.

Grand Master

Deputy Grand Master

I believe the line is progressive down through Grand Stewards.

Grand Master

Deputy Grand Master

It appears the Deputy Grand Master & Grand Master Elect becomes Grand Master automatically, without another vote.

Nevada's Grand Lodge elects the Grand Master, Deputy Grand Master, Senior Grand Warden, Junior Grand Warden, Grand Secretary, Grand Treasurer and Grand Lecturer (PGM ) to serve one year and our line is progressive from the Junior Grand Deacon, (we can serve 8 to 10 years before being appointed to Junior Grand Deacon ) all other officers are appointed. We have 5 Grand Trustees appointed by the Grand Master for staggered terms.

Grand Master

Deputy Grand Master

I believe the GM serves for more than 1 year.

Grand Master

Deputy Grand Master & Grand Master Elect

From an email message: Per a gentleman's agreement that has been in effect for over 100 years, the new JGW is elected from a different region of the state, rotating between West, Middle and East TN. Within each region, there are sub-rotations (Memphis/Outside Memphis Nashville/Outside Nashville Knoxville/Chattanooga/Johnson City) so there are actually 7 regions. The bottom line is that the Grand Master and JGW come from the same region. There have been several attempts to implement this rotation as a code change, and to give East TN a turn every other year (more than half TN Masons live in East TN) but these have been voted down and the Gentleman's agreement still stands. It sounds confusing, but it works and the state is fairly represented. It's like the electoral college--it doesn't seem to make sense, but it works so there's no move to change the system. 

Grand Master

Deputy Grand Master

Progressive elected officers are reelected to 2nd terms, so they serve 2 years in each position. Grand Master appoints Grand Lecturer, who then is elected Grand Junior Warden, and eventually Grand Master. Deacons are elected to 1 year terms and not reelected, and are not in the progressive line.

Grand Master

Deputy Grand Master

Incoming Grand Master-Elect nominates a candidate for Grand Junior Deacon, who is usually elected without any opposition, but sometimes another candidate is nominated and runs against the GM's candidate.

Officers change in November

Grand Master

Deputy Grand Master

There is no position of Grand Treasurer; a motion to reestablish it was defeated in June 1999.
