Guest Merv Posted June 19, 2017 at 02:23 PM Report Share Posted June 19, 2017 at 02:23 PM Is the President of a small Organization required to issue a tie breaking vote? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Goodwiller, PRP Posted June 19, 2017 at 02:37 PM Report Share Posted June 19, 2017 at 02:37 PM No. Implicit in any member's right to vote is the right to not vote. So even in a case where the presiding officer may vote, he or she is not required to do so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Mervosh Posted June 19, 2017 at 03:16 PM Report Share Posted June 19, 2017 at 03:16 PM And if the President voted right along with everyone else and it ended in a tie vote, he cannot vote again to break a tie. The motion would simply be defeated or if it's an election, additional rounds of voting may be necessary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
g40 Posted June 19, 2017 at 03:28 PM Report Share Posted June 19, 2017 at 03:28 PM If this tie vote was on a motion, then the motion is defeated - the same result as if the vote was overwhelmingly opposed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
