If there are more than nine candidates nominated the vote is by written ballot with all cadidate names listed and the AGM attendees are asked to complete a ballot paper each. is it permissible for the chair to deem any ballot paper invalid if it does not have a vote for nine of the named nominees?. Our consititution does not stipulate anything to cover this.Thank You Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary Novosielski Posted January 7, 2013 at 02:21 PM Report Share Posted January 7, 2013 at 02:21 PM No. The instruction "Vote for 9" should be interpreted as a maximum value. Members have the right to abstain from voting for any or all of the candidates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
