Guest Michael Smith Posted December 6, 2017 at 10:20 PM Report Share Posted December 6, 2017 at 10:20 PM We had a case were a person, present at a meeting, did not wish to vote on a topic, so instead allowed their alternate to vote on that one issue only rather than abstaining. Where would I look to find if this is a viable option or not? Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In your bylaws, where alternates are defined, and your rules of order. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where would I look to find if this is a viable option or not? Thank you! But if this meeting was a convention of delegates, the substitution of an alternate for a delegate for a single vote is not proper - RONR, page 605, lines 10ff. As usual, "unless a rule of the body permits this procedure". Do your bylaws include such a rule? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
