Such delegates, who shall be members, may nominate and elect directors. The bylaws shall prescribe the boundaries of the districts or the manner of establishing such boundaries, the manner of changing such boundaries, and the manner in which such districts shall function. No member at any district meeting, and no district delegate at any meeting, shall vote by proxy or by mail.
