If a member is nominated for a position and is running unopposed, and during the vote 80 members are eligible.  Our by-laws states that the candidate must receive 51%.   What happens if 60 of the 80 members submit blank votes.  I see it as the candidate did not receive the 51%, but do the 60 blank votes count towards the total?   The question is, how can a candidate running unopposed not be voted in without a write-in candidate?

Ultimately it is up to your organization to interpret its rules. If they are ambiguous, they could be amended.

That is up to your organization to decide. RONR does not have such a requirement.

It is out of the committee's hands unless the body puts it back into the committee.

Bring it up to the body that elected the board members. Perhaps the board members could be disciplined.

Perhaps asking a question about a particular situation may be more helpful.
