Ariann M. Pradia Posted February 27, 2014 at 02:41 AM Report Share Posted February 27, 2014 at 02:41 AM In the event there is only one (1) candidate for an office and there are no nominations from the floor, the presiding office may entertain a motion that the candidate is elected. Does the motion require a majority or two-third vote to pass? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Dr Mason Posted February 27, 2014 at 03:01 AM Report Share Posted February 27, 2014 at 03:01 AM Be careful and be sure that the bylaws do not require an election by ballot. If so, a ballot must be taken ... there might be write in candidates. If not, then a simple majority is all that is required to elect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jstackpo Posted February 27, 2014 at 03:29 AM Report Share Posted February 27, 2014 at 03:29 AM With one candidate, no ballot requirement (and no floor nominations), a formal vote isn't necessary at all. The chair just declares the candidate elected. p. 443 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
