Guest Joan C Posted November 1, 2023 at 06:09 PM Report Share Posted November 1, 2023 at 06:09 PM Four questions were presented on a screen before a meeting of the membership. Using paper ballots, all questions were approved by the voters; however, in reviewing the recording of the meeting, the Secretary realized that no formal motion was made to approve these questions. Can we accept the vote? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshua Katz Posted November 1, 2023 at 06:14 PM Report Share Posted November 1, 2023 at 06:14 PM Well, obviously don't make a habit of it, but so long as it was clear what they were voting on, and that they voted to approve, and there was no objection when the vote was declared, it is too late to address it and the result announced by the chair stands.

Can we accept the vote? Presuming the chair announced the result of the votes, you already have. And the minutes should reflect that fact. For future reference, a motion is the proper was to bring a question before the membership, whether projected screens are used or not.
