Chuck Posted December 28, 2018 at 12:00 AM Report Share Posted December 28, 2018 at 12:00 AM We needed to elect 3 people to a board. Two would serve 3-year terms; one would serve a 2-year term. What is the correct way to determine which candidate gets the 2-year term? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since the terms are not identical, this could be considered a different office and elected separately. It's also possible to assign the two-year term based on the number of votes received, assuming the third-place vote getter actually does achieve a majority vote. If your bylaws don't specify a method, the assembly could adopt a motion on the subject before holding the election. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jstackpo Posted December 28, 2018 at 12:58 PM Report Share Posted December 28, 2018 at 12:58 PM Remembering, that if you do the 2-year election first, the non-winners (if any) may be nominated for the one year position. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Brown Posted December 28, 2018 at 02:01 PM Report Share Posted December 28, 2018 at 02:01 PM Another method of determining who will serve the two-year term is by lot, such as by drawing straws, a roll of a die, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
