Electing by acclimation


Recommended Posts

If you have 4 trustee positions and only 4 individuals are running for the 4 positions, can you do a group vote by acclimation or does it have to be by individuals for each trustee position.  The duties of the trustees will be assigned after elections.

Check your bylaws to see if elections are to be held by ballot vote, and if so whether there is an exception in the case where the number of candidates does not exceed the number to be elected.

If the bylaws require a ballot without such an exception, then a ballot vote must be held.  As with any ballots, there should be space provided for write-in votes.

If a ballot is not required, then the chair may simply announce that those four are elected by acclamation.
