Does that person still have to receive a majority?What if no one but the nominator wants that person? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Brown Posted December 18, 2014 at 03:26 AM Report Share Posted December 18, 2014 at 03:26 AM If there is only one nominee, he can be declared elected by acclamation by the chairman at the close of nominations unless you have a bylaw provision which requires a ballot vote. If a ballot vote is required, a majority of those present and voting is required and write in votes must be permitted (unless you have a contrary provision in your bylaws). If he votes for himself and no one else votes for anyone else, then he wins by a vote of 1 to 0. You can vote against someone only by voting for someone else. Yes-no votes in elections are not permitted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But ballot votes must allow for write-ins, so it's possible that someone might not receive a majority if a lot of people vote for someone else. Maybe those others don't want the position, but they can still be voted for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
