It is a simple matter to elect an unopposed nominee. If you have one person running a simple show of hands will due if you have more than one person running for a board position then a paper ballot is required.I myself was elected President of our PTA unit and I was the only nominee as was the case for all of our board elect for next year and all but two of our board elect have served on the executive board in the current session. Unless there is some dysfunction in the board just be glad there are competent people willing to serve. I am assuming your board elect will hold a strategy meeting to go over goals for next year before the end of this school year and if this is the case you can propose the board address some of your concerns next year.

That's a dilemma. You can't exactly put someone on the ballot who doesn't want to run. You might tell your principal that you'll open the floor to nominations on election night -- that way anyone who wants to run can. But beyond that, I think you've done your best by talking to three possible candidates who refused you. As schooldad notes below, there's nothing in a technical sense that requires you to have more than one person running for a specific office -- no matter how much the principal wants competition for your current president.

If all positions are unopposed do we even have to have an election or just post it?
