Old Town Talkers Roles and responsibilities.

Vote Counter

The vote counter will tally the votes cast for the meetings best speaker, best evaluator and best table topics. This is a friendly competition that rewards the individuals that have the their best.

At the end of the meeting, when requested by the Toastmaster, the Vote Counter collects ballots and tallies the votes for Better/Best Speaker, Better/Best Evaluator, and Better/Best Table Topics Speaker. Candidates who exceed their time limits are not eligible for ribbons (the Time Keeper will announce who is eligible). In the case of a tie, two (or more) ribbons are awarded.

When called by the Toastmaster, the Vote Counter goes to the front of the room and announces the winners of the ribbons one at a time -- Table Topics first, then Evaluator, and then Speaker. As each winner is announced, s/he goes to the front of the room, shakes the Vote Counter's hand, and takes the ribbon.
