What are the eligibility criteria for being elected to the Grand Board?

The eligibility criteria for being elected to the Grand Board are outlined in Rule 164 of the Constitution of the Grand Lodge. Specifically, it states that "the sixteen members to be elected to the Board shall be four from each Region who shall hold a rank not lower than that of a Past Grand Director of Ceremonies." Additionally, it is mentioned that "a Brother who is a subscribing member of a Lodge under a duly recognised Grand Lodge which under its Charter holds its meeting within the Republic of India shall not be eligible to be elected to the Board." The elected members will hold office for a term of four years from the Grand Festival at which their election is announced.
