Not Certifying elections Results

[Guest Mr G]

We recently held an election, and the winning candIdates won by a majority of the votes, now as it turns out a member of lthe elections committee decided to convince 3 other members of that committee to not certify the elections, reason 1 supposedly because the members of the comm. Had electronic equipment in the polling area our bylaws or constitution does not prohibit that, reason 2 one of comm members had some bring in breakfast before any voting took place and even though nothing in the bylaws states that no one except candidates can not be in polling, they are trying to cancelled. Elections results for those reason not covered by the bylaws or constitution, on prior elections they permited all that and now that

Tree people lost they want to instill that policy. Can they do

That

[David A Foulkes]

It's always the Tree people.

[Guest Edgar]

Can they do That

Only if your rules say they can. Or if the other members let them get away with it.

See RONR (11th ed.), p. 409, ll. 15-20.

The assembly is in charge of the election, not any committee.

(this is the first time I've heard of breakfast being accused of invalidating an election; I wonder what was served.)

No, that's utter nonsense.
