may be made either by a committee appointed for that purpose, or on
motion of any member.
If there be more than one person nominated for any office, a ballot
shall be taken, tellers having been appointed for that purpose. The
one having a full majority of all the ballots cast shall be declared
elected.
[If there be more than two persons balloted for, and the one having
the highest number of votes, has not a majority of all the votes
given, then the one having the lowest number of votes shall be struck
off before proceeding to the next ballot. More than one name may be
struck off, provided that the sum of all the vote--so struck off is
not equal to, or greater than, the number of votes given to the
lowest remaining one.]
