Joe T Posted June 15, 2018 at 11:10 PM Report Share Posted June 15, 2018 at 11:10 PM If during nominations for a board you get 8 nominees and only 101 votes. How do you determine the winners for 2 seats. Our bylaws say majority vote but if none is present with the amount of nominees, how do you declare winners?

Richard Brown Posted June 15, 2018 at 11:30 PM Report Share Posted June 15, 2018 at 11:30 PM You normally vote again and keep voting until two members receive a majority vote. The candidate or candidates with the fewest number of votes are never removed from the ballot unless they voluntarily withdraw. However, the assembly can also adopt a motion to suspend the rules and drop one or more of the candidates with the smallest number of votes from the ballot after each round of voting. Such members remain eligible for election however, and may still be elected as write in candidates. See page 441, including the footnote on that page.
