Guest HaroldS Posted November 11, 2015 at 05:31 AM Report Share Posted November 11, 2015 at 05:31 AM Hello - our by-laws does not address absentee voting by board members who can't attend a meeting, or giving a proxy to another member who will attend. Does Robert's cover this situation - such as: only members in attendance can vote? Thanks so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does Robert's cover this situation - such as: only members in attendance can vote? "It is a fundamental principle of parliamentary law that the right to vote is limited to the members of an organization who are actually present at the time the vote is taken in a regular or properly called meeting, although it should be noted that a member need not be present when the question is put. Exceptions to this rule must be expressly stated in the bylaws." (RONR, 11h ed., pg. 423) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
