Guest Dick Jessee Posted August 19, 2014 at 07:41 PM Report Share Posted August 19, 2014 at 07:41 PM Has the assembly “taken action” where a motion to elect a nominee fails for lack of a second ? Expressed differently, is the nominee rejected because of the failure to elect? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expressed differently, is the nominee rejected because of the failure to elect? Nominations don't require a second under the rules in RONR. Is your question related to this one? http://robertsrules.forumflash.com/index.php?/topic/22945-is-a-lack-of-second-and-no-vote-taken/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edgar Guest Posted August 19, 2014 at 08:14 PM Report Share Posted August 19, 2014 at 08:14 PM Expressed differently, is the nominee rejected because of the failure to elect? Of course. If you elect Jane Doe then I think it's safe to say that Joe Blow was "rejected". But you seem to be conflating nominating and electing. Someone can be nominated without being elected and someone can be elected without being nominated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Honemann Posted August 19, 2014 at 08:15 PM Report Share Posted August 19, 2014 at 08:15 PM "If only one person is nominated and the bylaws do not require that a ballot vote be taken, the chair, after ensuring that, in fact, no members present wish to make further nominations, simply declares that the nominee is elected, thus effecting the election by unanimous consent or 'acclamation'."
