Guest BARRY Posted October 14, 2021 at 09:51 PM Report Share Posted October 14, 2021 at 09:51 PM Hello All and thank you for being here: Voting for President of a Club Can the incumbent president vote for themselves? In this case if the incumbent votes for themselves it causes the vote to become a tie. Shouldn't the president's vote be used to break a tie and not make a tie? Oh! We do NOT have a Vice President in office. Thank you, Barry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
