In the case of board member remote voting, any decision that is approved by an overwhelming majority (excluding abstentions) during a regular meeting or an extraordinary meeting is valid. This is the case unless an administrative code, statute, provision, board policy or by-law states otherwise.
If your board has a procedure for remote voting that is specific and you want to review it to ensure that the procedure is followed properly. If you decide to allow remote voting it is important to ensure that the quorum is met, and that the board management software provides a secure, accurate and transparent vote.
In the past when a board voted to accept a motion they could either use ballots that were distributed in advance or record the results on a roll call. However, with the advances in technology and the need to conduct meetings remotely, it is sensible to use an online voting system that enables members to express their decisions quickly. The MeetingPulse platform, for example allows members to vote online and is accessible from any device that is connected to the internet. It is also simple to use and provides security that is enterprise-level.
No matter what method your board chooses the best way to ensure that everyone feels confident in their decision-making is to encourage them to be active in discussions. This will boost engagement and ensure that all voices are heard, reducing the possibility of a member challenging the final decisions.
