roberts rules governing officer election as bylaws are silent

[Guest marianne]

Our PTA had an election tonight.  Usually the elections are not contested or there is an overwhelming majority voting one way.

 

In this case the president won by 62-50.

 

When our bylaws are silent, Roberts Rules of Order govern.   

 

Since our rules are silent for majority vote or 2/3 vote, Roberts Rules govern.   I misplaced my RR book.

 

It is annual election for president

 

Thanks!!

so the question is - is it 2/3 vote or majority vote for officer elections according to Roberts Rules of Order.

 

this was a special meeting - an election meeting

Majority vote - meaning more than half of the votes cast.
