Reopening nominations and closing nominations require a majority vote.

• A. True
• B. False
• C. Depends on chapter size
• D. Not specified

Answer: (B)

In this area, the voting requirement for motions to close or reopen nominations isn’t fixed as a simple majority in every situation. The way these motions are decided depends on the organization's rules or bylaws. Some bodies set a higher threshold, such as a two-thirds vote, to prevent last-minute changes to the slate; others may allow reopening nominations or closing nominations by a simple majority or by unanimous consent. Because the statement assumes both actions always need a simple majority, it isn’t universally true. Check your chapter's specific rules to know the exact requirement.
