V. Working with the principal, provide a notification of the election and a list of nominees to the local news media. If the decision is made to allow absentee ballots, a procedure for receiving and keeping them secure must be established. Ballots arriving at the school would be placed unopened in the school safe. The decision to allow absentee ballots should only be made if there is enough time to inform ALL the parents in the school. Majority means one more than half.
Plurality means more than any one else.
The law does not state that a majority vote is required for the election of parent members of SBDM Councils, but it does not state that a plurality vote is required either. Because the law does not say, it is up to the PTA to decide. It is best if the decision is made at a full PTA meeting so all can be heard. A. A majority vote of those present and voting requires a candidate to receive a majority of all votes cast to be elected. B. A majority vote of parents in the school requires a candidate to receive a majority vote of all the parents of the school to be elected.
