You can elect all officers at the same time (as happens in most municipal elections), or in the order in which they are listed in the bylaws.2. The top two vote getters who receive a majority of the votes cast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have two opening for trusses should they be voted in seperate or the top two vote gettersI hope you meant two openings for trustees. (An opening in a truss can cause it to be structurally unsound.)You could hold two elections for the two spots but it's most common to have a ballot where voters can vote for two names, and the two top vote getters are elected providing they achieve a majority, i.e., that each winning name appears on more than half the ballots cast.

Guest jacquie Posted October 20, 2010 at 10:40 PM Report Share Posted October 20, 2010 at 10:40 PM When voting do you have to vote for the number of vacancies - e.g. five places but can you vote for only four. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kim Goldsworthy Posted October 20, 2010 at 11:35 PM Report Share Posted October 20, 2010 at 11:35 PM 1. In what order should the officers be elected?2. We have two opening for trusses should they be voted in separate or the top two vote getters?1. If you use a BALLOT (a written vote), then you may finesse this problem completely.2. If the two offices are IDENTICAL, then you may treat it like a pool, and allow the top two vote getters to win, assuming that they achieve a MAJORITY, of course, per the rules in Robert's Rules of Order. - You cannot use a PLURALITY as the vote threshold.

Gary Novosielski Posted October 21, 2010 at 03:03 AM Report Share Posted October 21, 2010 at 03:03 AM Vote as many or as few as you like.Well, you can vote for as few as you like, but not as many as you like. If you vote for more than the number of seats at stake, your ballot wont' be any good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim, please remember that (Ghod willing) sometimes (cause there's no justice) the readership of this, the world's premier parliamentary Internet forum, exceeds the four or five of us, and they read here to find out stuff like what the younger Gary posted.
