Richard Brown Posted November 11, 2018 at 05:45 PM Report Share Posted November 11, 2018 at 05:45 PM RONR provides that a ballot vote may be ordered by majority vote unless your bylaws provide otherwise. All that is needed is for someone to move to vote by ballot, second the motion, and a majority vote. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jstackpo Posted November 11, 2018 at 05:45 PM Report Share Posted November 11, 2018 at 05:45 PM Yes, although an individual cannot "force" a ballot vote on an issue, or in elections. It requires a majority vote to replace a show of hands with a secret ballot. See page 283ff. Are you sure your bylaws don't already require a ballot vote for elections? Worthwhile to check.
