Guest Raymond Posted December 18, 2018 at 11:59 PM Report Share Posted December 18, 2018 at 11:59 PM 7 member board, President is absent, and a motion is made and voted on 3 for and 2 against, chair does not believe she should have voted. The chairs vote could have affected the result. Who is correct? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Goodwiller, PRP Posted December 19, 2018 at 12:04 AM Report Share Posted December 19, 2018 at 12:04 AM The chair may vote when it affects the result - including when it would create a tie (and therefore disapprove the motion). there is not required to do so.

Richard Brown Posted December 19, 2018 at 12:11 AM Report Share Posted December 19, 2018 at 12:11 AM Agreeing with Greg Goodwiller, you might find FAQ # 1 informative: http://www.robertsrules.com/faq.html#1 It is the chair's sole decision whether to vote when her vote will affect the result. I note that this is a seven member board, so under the "small board rules" in RONR, the chair would normally vote along with everyone else.
