As long as your bylaws don't require a ballot vote (and that's an important consideration!), the chair can declare a sole nominee elected "by acclamation".

It's actually required now when there is only one nominee and a ballot vote is not required. http://www.robertsru.../changes11.html #93

Thanks for the clarification. And the citation.

I was not trying to nitpick by the way, but since the authors list it I thought it was beneficial to the original poster.

I couldn't agree more. I need to review the list of changes. Again.

And most importantly, the OP needs to review the bylaws.
