Guest Oliver Posted February 5, 2017 at 09:26 PM Report Share Posted February 5, 2017 at 09:26 PM If an election was held by ballot, and certain members voted that were ineligible to vote, and the ballots were destroyed after the election, on what basis can the election be considere null and void? I found this on the dummies website, but can't find the supporting language in the actual rules.. "Votes cast by illegal voters must not be counted at all, not even included in the number of total votes cast. If it’s determined that enough illegal votes were cast by illegal voters to affect the result, and these votes can’t be identified and removed from the count, then the vote is deemed null and must be retaken." where is this rule?

Richard Brown Posted February 5, 2017 at 11:18 PM Report Share Posted February 5, 2017 at 11:18 PM Were there enough votes cast by people not eligible to vote to affect the result? RONR p. 416 lines 31-32. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
