Guest Dave J Posted March 21, 2012 at 07:49 PM Report Share Posted March 21, 2012 at 07:49 PM During a recent meeting a vote was taken. During the voting process, much cross-talk and conjecture occurred regarding the format, but no formal effort was taken during the meeting such as Point of order, etc., to get a rules clarification. After the meeting adjourned, the committee recieved a complaint and subsequently overturned the results of the vote. 1) What rule says that they do that? 2) What rule(s) was/were violated, if any? Thanks!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rev Ed Posted March 21, 2012 at 08:53 PM Report Share Posted March 21, 2012 at 08:53 PM 1) The only way for the Committee to overturn a vote is to "Rescind Something Previously Adopted" if the motion passed or to bring up the motion again and pass it (if it did not pass the first time.) Anything decided on outside a meeting is null and void.2) No debating is allowed during the vote, so there is one rule. What was the problem with the vote anyway?

Thanks!!Unless your rules provide for the committee to overturn the results, the action was null and void (p. 446). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Dave J Posted March 22, 2012 at 12:06 AM Report Share Posted March 22, 2012 at 12:06 AM Yes... It was a matter involving caucus results within a voting precinct...After the caucus was over, a precinct attendee filed a complaint after he found out the results of the vote.The Central Committee disqaulified all of the elected delegates within that precinct based on his claim. It's a very interesting set of events! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
