There is no limit on how many offices a person can be nominated for. See RONR (10th ed.), p. 418, ll. 13-17. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hmtcastle Posted May 10, 2011 at 08:01 PM Report Share Posted May 10, 2011 at 08:01 PM How many positions can the same person run for in a term of office under Robert's Ruules?RONR does not define (or use) the term "run for" but, as Mr. Elsman noted, there is no limit to the number of offices one person can be nominated for, nor is there a limit to the number of offices one person can be elected to, nor is there a limit to the number of offices one person can hold (though some combinations, such as president and vice-president, and president and secretary, should be avoided).
