*In the event of a floor nomination: After all nominations have been made and request has been made for additional nominees for the third time, have the members choose between the nominees and make their selections on a paper ballot. You’ll need to have two or three individuals you trust selected ahead of time to serve as tellers – to collect, tally, and report on the results. While they are tallying the results, you can proceed with part of the meeting program, such as getting functionary descriptions, etc., but you cannot go on to the next office until the tellers have provided the results.
