Section C- election of Lodge officers
Item 4. A simple majority of votes cast shall be required for election. If no person receives a majority of the votes cast, the person receiving the fewest votes shall be removed from the ballot and another vote will be taken. In the event of a tie, there shall be one re-vote. If there remains a tie after the re-vote the lodge officers only will then vote for that office.
Proposed amendment
Item 4. A simple majority of votes cast shall be required for election. If no person receives a majority of the votes cast, the person receiving the fewest votes shall be removed from the ballot and another vote will be taken. In the event of a tie, each candidate shall give a second speech, then there shall be one re-vote. If there remains a tie after the re-vote an individual ballot will be cast, with each member present receiving one vote. If no candidate receives a majority of individual ballots the Lodge Executive Committee (with more than 50% of its voting members present) will then vote for that office.
