Under RONR, a tie vote on a motion defeats the motion. There's no ambiguity, and no tie breaking is needed.

Any different manner of interpreting or handling a tie would have to be found in the rules of your organization. As for one person holding"

[Guest Keyon]

Ok, in this scenario 3 members voted and the other went silent and did not vote. because he refused to vote does his silence count as a opposed vote?"

[David A Foulkes]

What you describe is an abstention. For whatever reason, a member chooses not to vote. An abstention is not a vote, and is not counted at all, and definitely not as an opposing, or "no", vote."

[Guest H.Wm.Mountcastle]

See FAQ #6, "Do abstention votes count?", elsewhere on this site."

[Guest Gary c Tesser]

So is the tie-breaking process a settled issue for now?"

[Guest John M.]

>>Being both officers is there any way I can hold 2 votes?<<

No.

>>Or if not, what is the tie breaking process when you are even with 4 owners?<<

On a tie vote, the motion fails. There is no need to break"

When voting for a pastor,and there is a tie?What is tie breaking system???"

[Guest JDStackpole]

Jim:

This b-board system works best if you start a new topic with a new question even tough the question is related to an old topic."

[Guest Trina]

And when starting your new thread, please specify whether you are voting yes/no on a candidate for pastor (i.e. deciding whether to hire someone)... or whether you are actually electing your pastor (not likely, but not impossible either)."
