Guest TDK Posted March 27, 2023 at 02:32 PM Report Share Posted March 27, 2023 at 02:32 PM A search committee is bringing a name of someone to be elected an officer. The position is also a staff person of the organization. Are nominations from the floor allowed, or is this a simple up or down vote?

Rob Elsman Posted March 27, 2023 at 02:43 PM Report Share Posted March 27, 2023 at 02:43 PM Generally, if the rules in RONR (12th ed.) are controlling, nominations from the floor are allowed in the election of officers, and the chair must not improperly shut off the opportunity for members to make nominations from the floor. See RONR (12th ed.) 46:18. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Brown Posted March 29, 2023 at 01:50 PM Report Share Posted March 29, 2023 at 01:50 PM I agree with Mr. Elsman regarding the rules in RONR, but any rule on this matter in the governing documents or special rules of order would supersede the rulers in RONR.
