Guest Edgar Posted December 20, 2013 at 04:27 PM Report Share Posted December 20, 2013 at 04:27 PM Assuming this isn't an election, the motion is defeated as a majority (more than half) of those who voted didn't vote to adopt it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Novosielski Posted December 20, 2013 at 08:20 PM Report Share Posted December 20, 2013 at 08:20 PM And if it is an election, nobody got elected, since nobody got a majority. But unlike a motion, which simply fails without a majority, an election has to be completed by, if necessary, holding a second, third, or subsequent ballot until someone gets a majority.
