It could apply to a specific mechanism under the associations bylaws? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not aware that any edition of Robert's Rules of Order ever provided for recall of officers, but I defer to you and Mr. Gerber and Mr. Honemann on that point.

I do not recall seeing "recall election" in any RONR book. For reference for the OP, it might be possible to rescind an election depending on the wording of the bylaws, of course.

Gary Novosielski Posted December 11, 2023 at 08:38 PM Report Share Posted December 11, 2023 at 08:38 PM A quick check of a couple of editions, old and new, turns up no uses of the term in that context in RONR, ROR, RO, or PL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
