Things are hotting up in Ireland:

One club has noted how it will establish how to vote:
"ahead of the Cycling Ireland EGM on the Pat McQuaid nomination on the 15th June (PDF of details), there will be an Orwell EGM to decide our vote. This will be held on the 27th May in Milltown Institute at 7.30pm. If you're not familiar with the Milltown Institute, then firstly shame on you for not coming to any of the events this year, and secondly, it's located here: http://goo.gl/maps/gshcE.
The resolution is as follows: "That Mr. Pat McQuaid be and is hereby nominated by Cycling Ireland to stand as a candidate for the Presidency of the UCI at the 2013 UCI Congress and that the said nomination be executed and submitted forthwith by the Board of this Company."
You must be a fully paid up member of Orwell to attend and vote. Bring your licence, there will be a sign-on sheet at the door. Each member has a single vote, and voting will be by secret ballot. There will be no option for voting by proxy if you cannot attend. If you feel strongly about the matter, please attend the EGM.
We will have one principal speaker in favour of the McQuaid nomination, and one speaker against. Thereafter, each member who wishes to address the floor will be allowed to speak once, and given two minutes to do so.
As we are quite a large club, we are allowed six delegates for the CI EGM, which means six votes. We will need people to attend the EGM on our behalf, so please let us know on the night if you are able and willing to do so. Details are at the link above. Delegates have no free vote at the CI EGM - their vote will be decided in advance.
If a two-thirds majority is achieved in either direction at our EGM, all delegates will be instructed to follow that majority vote. If no two-thirds majority is achieved, then the delegates will be split pro rata. i.e., if 100 people attend the Orwell EGM, and 50 vote for, and 50 against, then 3 delegates will vote for the resolution at the CI EGM, and 3 will vote against. If the split is not so neat, we will round off as appropriate. Please use the forum to ask any questions."
