Election voided as not happening

[Guest sara]

If an election has been called illegal and it is decided to have a new election. Who can vote at the next election is it only the members that had voted at the first election

[Chris Harrison]

Any member present can vote at the 2nd election. However, who says that the election was illegal and why?

[Kim Goldsworthy]

Who can vote at the next election?

Is it only the members that had voted at the first election?

Whoever is a member at the moment the vote is taken, may vote.

This implies that people who signed up and paid dues 5 minutes before the ballot box is open for deposits, can vote.

Put another way:

• Whoever voted yesterday, last week, last month, is irrelevant.

• You don't get to to vote tomorrow just because you got to vote yesterday.

Nothing in RONR supports this. Ask them to show you the rule.

I would also note that even if there is such a rule in the organization's Bylaws, "members of the executive directors" have no authority to invalidate an election by the general membership. Such a ruling could only take place at a meeting of the general membership, and would be subject to appeal.
