Chuck Posted December 19, 2018 at 01:17 AM Report Share Posted December 19, 2018 at 01:17 AM When voting by ballot for the election of officers, what rule(s) apply for announcing the vote totals for each candidate? May the names of those who receive the required majority vote be announced without the vote totals for each? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Harrison Posted December 19, 2018 at 01:28 AM Report Share Posted December 19, 2018 at 01:28 AM See RONR pp. 417-419. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shouldn't be. See pp 417ff for the proper form of the tellers report. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Brown Posted December 19, 2018 at 01:43 AM Report Share Posted December 19, 2018 at 01:43 AM Why does everyone think new member Chuck has a copy of RONR? Do you two know something about him that the rest of us don't know? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, if he doesn't have a copy he should get one. If you are going to war you should first know and understand the Rules of Engagement.

Atul Kapur Posted December 19, 2018 at 06:38 AM Report Share Posted December 19, 2018 at 06:38 AM (edited) Chuck, while I also feel you should buy a copy of the current edition of the book, I don't believe in keeping you in suspense: "The tellers' report is entered in full in the minutes, becoming a part of the official records of the organization. Under no circumstances should this be omitted in an election or in a vote on a critical motion out of a mistake deference to the feelings of unsuccessful candidates were or members of the losing side." RONR 11th ed, p. 418, lines 26-31 The tellers' report indicates the total number of votes cast and the number of votes that each candidate received as well as listing any illegal votes cast. Edited December 19, 2018 at 07:39 PM by Atul Kapur Corrected typo in quote: "or" instead of "were" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. The entire tellers' report should be read, which includes all individual vote totals, total votes cast, illegal votes if any, and votes needed to elect.
