No. 02. Voting In Lodges Under Dispensation

Decision: The only persons authorized to vote on a question before a lodge under dispensation, are the persons named in the dispensation. Custom in this jurisdiction, and courtesy, would allow persons raised in such a lodge to vote as though original members, but this must be left to the latter to decide. No Mason not named in the dispensation, or raised in the lodge, has any right whatever to participate in the proceedings.
