Guest PETE Posted February 22, 2017 at 01:47 PM Report Share Posted February 22, 2017 at 01:47 PM IF AN OFFICER IS UNOPPOSED DURING AN ELECTION, DOES A VOTE HAVE TO BE CAST BY THE SECRETARY, ALSO AFTER ELECTIONS DO THE UNOPPOSED OFFICERS HAVE TO BE INSTALLED.

George Mervosh Posted February 22, 2017 at 01:58 PM Report Share Posted February 22, 2017 at 01:58 PM If the bylaws require a vote by ballot for an election, that requirement cannot be waived, even if a candidate is running unopposed. If a ballot vote is not required or if the bylaws make an exception for unopposed candidates, the presiding officer can simply declare the unopposed candidate elected. No need for the Secretary to be doing any casting of a ballot. As far as installing officers, your rules will govern as no installation ceremony is required under the rules in RONR.

Richard Brown Posted February 22, 2017 at 04:13 PM Report Share Posted February 22, 2017 at 04:13 PM Agreeing with Mr. Mervosh, I would add that pursuant to RONR elections take effect immediately, instantly, unless you have a rule to the contrary.
