What happens if I win an election for president of a society, but my Nomination form is not valid?

Hi. What if the candidate needs to have 10 members of the society to sign a nomination form in order to run for an executive position, but after the elections are over, I win, but later someone complains that my nomination form is invalid because i forged some signatures? (like 2 out of the 10). I Is it too late because the voting is done, and the issue should have been brought up before election day, or can the court revoke my president position?

  1. The court would never get involved, because no laws would have been broken,and nobody can claim a financial loss. How it's handled would depend on the rules and structure of the society. Probably the society would have some sort of election committee that precided over the election process. My guess is that they would make a ruling. My own judgment about what would be fair: If the forgeries were deliberate, I'd say that disqualies you, and may lead to other sanctions as well. If it was accidental, I think that the election committee is to blame for not catching the error sooner. Assuming you can get 10 valid signatures *after* the fact (which should be no trouble), I'd say the election results should stand.
