ajwcnw Posted March 1, 2013 at 01:21 AM Report Share Posted March 1, 2013 at 01:21 AM If our bylaws are silent, does a candidate have to be present to accept a nomination for office? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Harrison Posted March 1, 2013 at 01:38 AM Report Share Posted March 1, 2013 at 01:38 AM No. But if the absent candidate is elected without having first consented to his or her candidacy the election won't be final until he or she has had an opportunity to decline the office (RONR p. 444) so it would be a good idea to get the person to agree to being nominated first.

Guest Edgar Posted March 1, 2013 at 01:42 AM Report Share Posted March 1, 2013 at 01:42 AM No.Nor, even if present, does he need to accept a nomination. His option is limited to declining to serve if elected.aGBDPq Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Edgar Posted March 1, 2013 at 01:44 AM Report Share Posted March 1, 2013 at 01:44 AM . . . it would be a good idea to get the person to agree to being nominated first.And an even better idea to get him to agree to serving if elected (whether nominated or not).

Guest Edgar Posted March 1, 2013 at 02:16 AM Report Share Posted March 1, 2013 at 02:16 AM The candidate is eager to run.Perhaps because he thinks his chances of being elected are slim?What you need to do is make sure he's eager to serve if elected.uEq4db Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
