Copies vs original signatures

Recommended Posts

A club I belong to is governed by RONR.  There is a section in the bylaws that state:

  1. Additional nominations of eligible members may be made by written petition addressed to the Corresponding Secretary and received on or before July 1, signed by ten voting members in good standing (excluding the candidate’s own signature) and accompanied by the written acceptance of each such additional nominee signifying his/her willingness to be a candidate. If the current Corresponding Secretary is one of the additional nominees, that petition should be sent to the President.

It is not clear as to if "copies" of signatures will or will not be accepted, or if electronic petitions will be accepted.  Is there an official stance on this in RONR?  Keeping in mind that this is a national club with members based all over the US.  

Thank you,

Thank you for the responses.  One additional questions: Does it have to be stated in the bylaws that e-signatures and/or electronic copies will be accepted?  Or, is this something that can be outlined in say standing rules?

Thank you,

Jamie

You cannot adopt a standing rule permitting e-signatures on, and/or electronic copies of, nominating petitions if your bylaws require something else. So I'm afraid you're back where you began.
