Guest Steve Posted October 28, 2019 at 12:37 AM Report Share Posted October 28, 2019 at 12:37 AM Our by-laws state that if there are three or more nominees for an elected position and none of the nominees receive a majority vote, the nominee with the fewest votes is dropped and another vote is held for tje remaining nominees. This continues until one of the nominees recieves a majority of the votes. Is this an acceptable election process? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Elsman Posted October 28, 2019 at 12:42 AM Report Share Posted October 28, 2019 at 12:42 AM Since the bylaws supersede what RONR says, you must do as the bylaws say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jstackpo Posted October 28, 2019 at 12:54 AM Report Share Posted October 28, 2019 at 12:54 AM It, however, is a decision making technique that is fraught with peril. See: https://www.dropbox.com/s/xqq1o7s9qsxv933/Why the RONR System.docx?dl=0 The article deals mainly with the motion - primary amendment - secondary amendment process, but there is a reference to the runoff system in it too.

It's not my favorite, but as it is mandated in your bylaws, it is, for your organization, the only acceptable election process. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
