Guest ReligiousEagle Posted August 10, 2010 at 02:30 AM Report Share Posted August 10, 2010 at 02:30 AM If the rules of an organization call for voting of officers by ballot, if several positions have candidates running unopposed, can a motion be put on the floor and passed to automatically declare them winners of those positions?

See RONR (10th ed.), p. 255, ll. 13-28. Remember, members can write in someone who has not been nominated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
