Jerry Posted March 28, 2024 at 03:16 PM Report Share Posted March 28, 2024 at 03:16 PM Once a vote is taken, how does a chance to overturn that decision? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Novosielski Posted March 29, 2024 at 10:58 PM Report Share Posted March 29, 2024 at 10:58 PM Much depends on the details. Later in the same meeting, a motion to Reconsider the vote can often be made, but only by someone who voted on the prevailing side the first time. Certain motions can't be reconsidered, so I can't guess if this is true in your case. See RONR 12th ed. §37. After that, at a future meeting, a motion to Rescind can be made, as long as the adopted motion hasn't already been carried out. See RONR 12th ed. §35.

Richard Brown Posted March 30, 2024 at 09:24 PM Report Share Posted March 30, 2024 at 09:24 PM Agreeing with Mr. Novosielski, the motion to amend or rescind something previously adopted requires previous notice of the intent to make the motion and a 2/3 vote, or, in the alternative, without previous notice it can be done by the vote of a majority of the entire membership.

Not generally, I wouldn't think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe the "and" should be an "or." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for catching that! Yes, the “and” should be an “or”. It should read, “the motion to amend or rescind something previously adopted requires a majority vote with previous notice of the intent to make the motion OR a 2/3 vote or the vote of a majority of the entire membership”.
