vote without a prper motion

[Guest ylan boyd]

To all;

My question is very simple; without a motion being made and seconded, can a vote take place via (polling via the telephone,) that is binding?

Thanks for your input

RONR prohibits all absentee voting (e.g. via the telephone) unless your bylaws specifically authorize it (or some superior rule or law mandates it).

And, without a motion being made, just what is it that everyone is voting on?

On the other hand, nothing in RONR prohibits one member from asking other members what they think. But no one is voting and nothing is binding.

No.. RONR, p. 469.

So, in other words it's as if the event never took place correct?

Correct. The motion can be made at the next (or any) meeting.
