subsidiary motion applied to it except to 
amend. It yields to privileged motions. The 
motion may provide for nominations being 
made by the chair; or from the floor, or open 
nominations as it is also called; or for a nominating committee to be appointed; or for 
nominations to be made by ballot; or by mail.

''Closing and Reopening Nominations.'' Before proceeding to an election, if nominations 
have been made from the floor or by a committee, the chair should inquire if there are any 
further nominations. If there is no response 
he declares the nominations closed. In very 
large bodies it is customary to make a motion 
to close nominations, but until a reasonable 
time has been given, this motion is not in 
order. It is a main motion, incidental to the 
nominations and elections, cannot be debated, 
can be amended as to the time, but can have 
no other subsidiary motion applied to it. It 
yields to privileged motions, and requires a 
two-thirds vote as it deprives members of one 
of their rights.'''

If for any reason it is desired to reopen 
nominations it may be done by a majority 
vote. This motion is undebatable. It can be 
amended as to the time, but no other subsidiary motion can be applied to it. It yields to privileged motions.
