Guest Texas Fire Posted October 12, 2010 at 11:10 PM Report Share Posted October 12, 2010 at 11:10 PM Our annual election of Officers is days away. We had nominations for all positions and all nominees accepted same. Now, we have a Chairman who was resigning with all lower office holders simply moving up. Suddenly, the Chairman has decided to run again and all other nominees have rescinded their acceptances. Add to this that they have nominated each other for their current office positions and accepted these. Is this permissible? Do their names have to remain on the ballot for the position they originally accepted? Can their name appear on the ballot for more than one office?

(However, one member may not nominate more persons for an office than there are vacancies.)No rule in RONR prevents a member from running for more than one office.No rule in RONR prevents a non-member from running for office, either. You rules might differ; consult your bylaws.-Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And those who "accepted" their new offices will now have to convince the voters.By the way, other than the offices of president and vice-president, there's no "moving up" and no office that's higher or lower than another.
