conservationman Posted May 30, 2021 at 09:17 PM Report Share Posted May 30, 2021 at 09:17 PM At our general meetings, a motion is passed or refused by voice vote or show of hands. Some motions are passed when members are intimidated and do not vote. How and when can a secrete paper ballot be required? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshua Katz Posted May 30, 2021 at 09:23 PM Report Share Posted May 30, 2021 at 09:23 PM A member can move to vote by ballot on a pending question, or one not yet pending but expected (I move that, when the election is held, it be by ballot). It takes a majority vote to adopt the motion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Brown Posted May 30, 2021 at 09:40 PM Report Share Posted May 30, 2021 at 09:40 PM Agreeing with Mr. Katz, when it is time to vote (or prior to that), just say, "I move that we take this vote by ballot". It needs a second, is not debatable, and requires a majority vote to adopt. RONR (11th ed) 30:1 - 30:3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
