Special Process – Viva-Voce The NEC can choose the conduct a "viva-voce election" The NEC announces that an election for an officer will be a viva-voce election (I think you can just say "voice vote"). The NEC says, "All those in favor of X for International Chair say aye (plus Web. Ex). . . all opposed say no (plus Web. Ex). . . The ayes have it and X is elected International Chair. " If the noes have it, then you proceed to the next candidate and say "All those in favor of Y for International Chair say aye (plus Web. Ex). . . " If none of the candidates has a majority, you start voting again until one of them does (as is usual in elections for RRO). 11
Tallying Process §We will have a separate room for the vote tallying §Each candidate can name up to one observer to be in the tallying room §Tallying will be done with a ‘smart’ Excel sheet §DO NOT DISTURB anyone in the tallying room; that would just slow down the process 12
