It is not too late to choose another nominee.  The ballots have to go out by September 1, 2020 to the membership and voting takes place until October 30th.

Our dog club has elections every two years.  We are up for an election this year. According to our bylaws, a nominating committee is formed to vet individuals to serve on the board for the next term.  We went through that process and chose the slate.  Our bylaws also allow members to nominate themselves to challenge the slate which has occurred. One of the board members who was on the nominated slate resigned and doesn't want to be re-elected.  Our bylaws do not address this situation. So my question is, does the nominating committee go back to choose another member for the position or does the challenger automatically get that position even though we have not had our election.  We are due to send out ballots August 1, 2020 so we need some guidance.
