How many adults can a unit nominate?

Prior to August 2020, each unit who has a youth election could nominate one adult for every 3 youth elected. (1-3 youth elected, 1 adult; 4-6 youth elected, 2 adults, 7-9 youth elected, 3 adults etc.).

On August 5, 2020 it was announced that the National Council of Chiefs met during the during Momentum Launch and new updates were announced regarding the adult selection process. Instead of the usual one adult per three youth ratio, two adults may be be selected per three youth elected. If the computation results in a fraction of adults eligible for nomination, the unit may round up to the next whole number.

So now each unit who has a youth election could nominate two adults for every 3 youth elected. (1-3 youth elected, 2 adults; 4-6 youth elected, 4 adults, 7-9 youth elected, 6 adults etc.).
