Bylaws state that elections are held yearly and specific positions are up for re-election in odd years and the other in even years. A board member, who is not up for election this year, runs for a position that is up in the current year. When this person is nominated, is their current position automatically vacated? The person did not win the new position and wants to return to their current position. Some of the board beleives the position was vacated when they ran for a new position. Others beleive the position is not vacated unless the person got elected into the new position.

Neither is correct, unless you have a rule in your bylaws that says so.

RONR does not require you to resign unless the bylaws prohibit someone from holding two offices, and certainly not before the election is actually decided.
