BEDF-VOTING METHOD

File: BEDF

VOTING METHOD

Voting shall ordinarily be by show of hands. Voting shall be done by roll call at the direction of the Chair, or at the request of any MSAD #11 Board member. When voting by roll call, the names of the members shall be called alphabetically, and each member shall respond "Yes" or "No"or "Not Voting". All votes shall be recorded in the minutes.

Maine public officials are obliged to vote openly; thus, secret ballots are not to be used by the MSAD #11 School Board.

A motion shall be declared "Carried" upon the affirmative vote of the majority of the members present, unless otherwise required by law or MSAD #11 Board policy.
