Guest Denise Pavlik Posted January 20, 2017 at 02:24 PM Report Share Posted January 20, 2017 at 02:24 PM Can the Board begin electronic voting? If so, so they need to have that written in their by-laws to do it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg Goodwiller, PRP Posted January 20, 2017 at 03:08 PM Report Share Posted January 20, 2017 at 03:08 PM Hieu, where do you find that requirement? Electronic meetings must be authorized in an organization's bylaws, but why is electronic voting is taken up in a different secion. "Machine or Electronic Voting" is a sub-section (on page 419 in RONR) within a larger section in RONR titled "Other Methods of Voting," which begins with the statement, "in contrast to the methods of voting mentioned in the preceding subsection, the voting methods described below are used only when expressly ordered by the assembly or prescribed by its rules" (RONR pg. 412, ll. 8-10).

Hieu H. Huynh Posted January 20, 2017 at 04:58 PM Report Share Posted January 20, 2017 at 04:58 PM If the electronic voting is a form of absentee voting, see "Absentee voting" in RONR 11th ed., p. 423. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It depends on whether you mean electronic voting within an in-person meeting, or whether you are instituting some sort of absentee voting, where members who are not present are authorized to vote.
