Can you vote to fill a vacancy by email or do you have to call a special meeting?

[Guest Nichole R]

We are filling a position that a member resigned from. Can we do an email vote once we have received all the resumes for the candidate or do we have to call a special meeting? Where can I find this section in RONR?

You can't do voting by email unless the bylaws specifically provides for it (RONR pp. 98, 423). You can hold a Special Meeting if the bylaws specifically provides for calling one (RONR pp. 91-92).
