Thomas Ralph Posted July 23, 2014 at 08:24 PM Report Share Posted July 23, 2014 at 08:24 PM Yes, if they are properly selected as tellers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Novosielski Posted July 23, 2014 at 11:39 PM Report Share Posted July 23, 2014 at 11:39 PM Can board members count the ballots at an election meeting assuming they are NOT running? Ballots are counted by the tellers committee, not the board. But I suppose they could be the same people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruce Lages Posted July 25, 2014 at 08:25 PM Report Share Posted July 25, 2014 at 08:25 PM Yes (assuming the president is presiding at the election meeting), that is what RONR prescribes: "In balloting in a meeting where the voting is in the same room as the meeting, the chair appoints tellers to distribute, collect, and count the ballots, and to report the vote." (RONR, 11th. ed. p.414, ll.6-9) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
