Joshua Katz Posted May 12, 2021 at 01:35 PM Report Share Posted May 12, 2021 at 01:35 PM If the bylaws require a ballot election, then yes. Otherwise, the chair will simply declare the lone candidate elected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might help if you give us your definition of an “election committee“, but RONR does not require an “election committee“ at all. If you are referring to a nominating committee, that is not required either. What is the purpose of this “election committee“ that you referred to?

I don’t think the term even appears in RONR. I thought it said "election." No, RONR does not require any election committees. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure what the charge of your election committee is. RONR doesn't ever require one. RONR suggests using a Nominating Committee to solicit candidates and report them to the assembly, but after that, the assembly itself conducts the election. And if candidates are running unopposed (and the bylaws do not require a ballot vote) the chair may declare them elected by acclamation.
