Have any Slackers involved in non-profits face challenges with their voting procedures during the pandemic. How did you handle it?

Posted by Meg (aka Mojave) Feb 22 '23, 20:42

Like many (I'm sure) other organizations our bylaws were written some 60 years ago when there was no concept of electronic voting.

Where we get hung up is that voting must take place at the meeting. We're trying to figure how to convert this to a written ballot. Can we do this by email in advance of the meeting? I know other organizations do this but they likely have a much more sophisticated IT set-up.

Suggestions?

Ours is newer so we have provisions for an email ballot organized by our business manager. - spamlet Feb 23, 03:05
Sounds like it's time to form a committee to update the bylaws... -- nm - Ender Feb 22, 21:09 1
- Which would need to be voted on at a membership meeting ;) -- nm - Meg Feb 22, 21:17
What in the bylaws specifically prohibits a voice vote over Zoom? Does it have to be paper? -- nm - Mop Feb 22, 21:02 1
- We've always used paper ballots, but I believe it can be a voice vote of members present so long as they are voting on the nominees as presented. - Meg Feb 22, 21:17
