flipper92 Posted May 31, 2017 at 10:44 AM Report Share Posted May 31, 2017 at 10:44 AM The President appoints three people to count ballots per our bylaws. Is there anything in RR that prevents the President from being involved in the ballot counting process if he is running for one of the positions being elected? (He is cycling off as president). Some have suggested that no one on the ballot should be involved in the tallying process at all, although our bylaws are silent on this issue.

Dan Honemann Posted May 31, 2017 at 11:26 AM Report Share Posted May 31, 2017 at 11:26 AM (edited) No, there is nothing in RONR which would override your bylaw provision which says that your President appoints three people to act as tellers. As to the tellers, RONR (11th ed.), on page 414, notes that: "Often their position with regard to the issue involved is well known, however, and they are frequently chosen to protect the interests of each opposing side."
