George Mervosh Posted March 3, 2014 at 01:40 PM Report Share Posted March 3, 2014 at 01:40 PM When By-Laws require a secret ballot for election of Officers. It is appropriate, allowable to report the count of the ballot? It's required. And it's required to enter that count into the minutes. "The tellers' report is entered in full in the minutes, becoming a part of the official records of the organization. Under no circumstances should this be omitted in an election or in a vote on a critical motion out of a mistaken deference to the feelings of unsuccessful candidates or members of the losing side." RONR (11th ed.), p. 418 There's a lot of crucial information on pp. 414-419 that you should read as well, including how the tellers' report is constructed and presented to the assembly.
