The scheduled time for the presidential election this morning is 10:30 AM. That is a change from previous conventions – the first election was always after lunch. But all the elections will be today.
Ronnie Floyd is still the expected winner of the election, but there is a lot of Dennis Kim buzz around. Just don’t know it will all play out. As far as I know, there are still just the three who will be nominated.
I plan to update this post with news as the election progresses.
Praying God’s will and a good convention. First choice for me would be Jared Moore and then Dr. Kim.
Wish I could be there to vote for Kim!
Vote going now. @sbcvoices for updates.
what time do they usually announce these results
Unknown. You just sit and wait
is it usually the same day or in the afternoon?
Same day, during the next relevant ‘business section.’
(They usually won’t interrupt something like IMB to announce vote counts.)
All three nomination speeches were good for various reasons.
If not before, you will hear the results of the presidential election at the time for the next election of officers.

Dennis Kim – 1446
Jared Moore – 210
Congratulations Ronnie Floyd.
Wow, Dr. Kim actually came pretty close.
I hope after Floyd’s term(s) Kim’s name comes up again. That would be outstanding. As I’ve noted several times, I think there were uniques for each candidate that made their candidacy both interesting and to a certain extent compelling. I’m not surprised that Jared polled so few, but there are things that he is saying that deserve discussion and I believe he has correctly raised those issues and sought to discuss them. This was a VERY good year for us with respect to the selection of a president because of these things (obligatory IMHO implied, but just in case you… Read more »
I agree with everything you said Greg. I would have preferred Dr. Kim to have won, but all in all, I’m pleased with the strong showing he made today.
Why would about 2,000 Messengers abstain from voting?
Some were in the exhibit hall, some were at lunch, some will never attend any of the business sessions.
if they are appointed messengers, don’t they have a moral (and spiritual) obligation to attend on behalf of those who sent them as representatives
???

John is spot on with his analysis. Some people really do not care who is president for various reasons
Is seems like that if your church sends you as a messenger to the convention it would be a dereliction of duty to not attend any of the business sessions and to not vote.

You make a good point. I guess people see this differently. Personally I always attended the business because i wanted to keep up and have a voice. Some people say they go for the preaching, fellowship or whatever.
I suppose the bottom line would be a pastor’s understanding with his church. If the church knows the attendance pattern of the pastor and is OK with it I suspect that would be their business.
Clint Pressley was elected 1st VP without opposition. 2nd VP Was also Unopposed. I think the name was Hans Dilbeck or Bilbeck. Maybe someone has the name.
Hance Dilbeck.
Is the 2nd vp a snazzy dresser too?? 😉
Are you asking “Will Dave lend his suit to any 2nd VP who asks?”
If so, then I’m going to Columbus next year and expect somebody to nominate me for 2 VP. I’ll wear the suit.
I voted for Kim but believe Floyd will do a great job.
I expect so too, Louis.
