MZSFJV Posted September 12, 2020 at 07:51 PM Report Share Posted September 12, 2020 at 07:51 PM Condo AGM. Both the President and VP are up for election. Can either one continue to chair the meeting once voting for BOD's has begun? Does another officer need to take over as chair? Thanks for your input.

Does another officer need to take over as chair? The President can and should continue to preside during an election for officers even if he is a nominee, unless he wishes to speak in debate. "Whenever a motion is made that refers only to the presiding officer in a capacity not shared in common with other members, or that commends or censures him with others, he should turn the chair over to the vice-president or appropriate temporary occupant (see below) during the assembly’s consideration of that motion, just as he would in a case where he wishes to take part in debate (see also 43:29–30). The chair, however, should not hesitate to put the question on a motion to elect officers or appoint delegates or a committee even if he is included."
