Lindaj631 Posted May 30, 2014 at 11:08 AM Report Share Posted May 30, 2014 at 11:08 AM Hello, If a member in good standing had an emergency and could not vote with the body on the day of the election but came in and handed her ballot to the nominating committee chair unmarked with her name, could her vote be counted?

And the nominating committee has no role in counting votes anyway, so again No. And the day of the election has come and gone, and presumably the election is complete, so again, No. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
