| + | ===== Nominations and Elections Guidance from "Robert's Rules of Order" ===== | ||
| + | |||
| + | GRACS is not obligated to follow //Robert's Rules of Order//, but it does offer good guidance: | ||
| + | |||
| + | > **66. Nominations and Elections.** Before proceeding to an election to fill an office it is customary to nominate one or more candidates.... When the nominations are completed the assembly proceeds to the election.... An election takes effect immediately if the candidate is present and does not decline, or if he is absent and has consented to his candidacy. If he is absent and has not consented to his candidacy, it takes effect when he is notified of his election, provided he does not decline immediately. After the election has taken effect and the officer or member has learned the fact, it is too late to reconsider the vote on the election.... | ||
| + | |||
| + | The [[https://www.cs.utexas.edu/~gracs/gracs-bylaws.shtml|GRACS bylaws]] specify approval voting as the voting method and "the week prior to registration" as the date of assuming office. | ||
