Guest Rebecca Cianci Posted December 8, 2011 at 04:47 PM Report Share Posted December 8, 2011 at 04:47 PM If a vote on an issue is handled through email, (due to timeliness), how is this handled at the actual meeting?Is the email votes acknowledged?Or are the email votes forgotten and a actual vote on the issue taken at the meeting?

Trina Posted December 8, 2011 at 05:08 PM Report Share Posted December 8, 2011 at 05:08 PM Unless your bylaws authorize email voting, you can't vote by email (regardless of timeliness or any other concerns).Since you are not sure how to deal with the email vote, I'll guess that your bylaws say nothing on the subject.Make a motion, at a meeting, and vote on it.

George Mervosh Posted December 8, 2011 at 05:38 PM Report Share Posted December 8, 2011 at 05:38 PM If the genie is out of the bottle, Rebecca, and the action has been taken as a result of this email vote, it's going to still need ratified at an in person meeting to make it valid.

Rev Ed Posted December 8, 2011 at 06:36 PM Report Share Posted December 8, 2011 at 06:36 PM And at the meeting, when the vote will be legit, can create the exact opposite result. For example, the motion could be approved by e-mail, and then when it comes up for a vote at the meeting can be voted down. And unless the By-laws allow for e-mail voting, it's the vote at the meeting that matters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
