There exists a dispute in our club regarding the validity of 'having the secretary cast a vote' to elect a person in an uncontested election. My understanding being that the proper procedure would be to elect the person by affirmation or even by a show of hands or viva voce vote, but not by the 'secretary casting a vote'. Assume that our By-laws are silent on the issue and an election by ballot is not stipulated.
