The presiding officer declares nominations in order for the office of president of the board of education (please note, nominations need not be seconded). Per Robert's Rules of Order, an election is nothing more than the handling of an assumed motion, with the question being on whom to elect to fill a position. If there are multiple nominations, the chair will take a vote on each nomination in the order they were made.  The chair will announce the nominee that received the majority of the votes. 

The presiding officer must declare that nominations are in order for the office of Board President.
