Guest Fran Olsen Posted February 24, 2011 at 08:33 PM Report Share Posted February 24, 2011 at 08:33 PM Our corporation's bylaws, written by a lawyer, do not have a clause stating any parliamentary authority. (I'm embarrassed to say that I was involved in getting these written, correcting the most horrendous bylaws I've ever seen.) For our upcoming election of the board, can I request a ballot vote at the meeting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although you all didn't adopt RONR as your parliamentary authority it is a codification of the present day general parliamentary law which would be binding on an organization in the absence of an adopted parliamentary authority (RONR p. xxv).
