Re: PM Votes



Under the Constitutions of the Grand Lodge of NY, F&AM, each Lodge has
one vote plus an additional vote for every 50 members after the first
50. These votes are the responsibility of the sitting Master, in his
absence, the SW and in his absence the JW. If all three are absent,
the Lodge Proxy, who must be a Past Master will vote for the Lodge.
Other then the proxy, if he votes as the representative of the Lodge,
Past Masters get no vote at Grand Lodge Session. Members of Grand
Lodge Committees get one vote each.
