While the amendments are a show of hands, you don't see somebody walking around writing down names as to who voted how. So the spirit of secret balloting is maintained. <br /><br />With this, your number will be affixed to how you voted. And what happens when two delegates live in the same house and have the same phone #?James Curranhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08064830948270604331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5865994732097663473.post-86000938313212974572011-05-15T08:15:56.424-04:002011-05-15T08:15:56.424-04:00Jim, correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought th...Jim, correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought that constitutional amendments were never by secret ballot. When OMOV passed in Vancouver, everyone just held up their hands on the floor. Only the leadership vote and board elections were by secret ballot IIRC.Adrian Ludwinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16099820007287910315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5865994732097663473.post-1772949243360886352011-05-14T22:33:39.245-04:002011-05-14T22:33:39.245-04:00How on earth can we get rid of the upper echelons....How on earth can we get rid of the upper echelons.

That's the reason to vote. Thats the reason. To begin the renewal and the removal of the old boys. They don't even want us to vote on when leadership should be. just that it shouldn't be now.
