Legal Question in Civil Litigation in South Dakota

Re: ex officio

You do not specify the type of organization to which you are referring. Applying general legal principles concerning business organizations, the answer is "No." An officer who is not a director does not have a vote as a director. The bylaws of an organization could conceivably provide for circumstances under which the President of an organization would have some voting rights as a director. Whether this is the case is a factually specific question that can only be answered by looking at the bylaws that were prepared for that organization. The bottom line is that you do not provide enough information to allow a specific answer. But, generally speaking, the answer would be "No."
