Every member present, unless disqualified, shall vote on every question or classification.

If through death, resignation, or other cause, the membership of a board falls below the prescribed number, it shall continue to function provided a quorum of the prescribed membership is present at each official meeting.","path":["Title 32—National Defense","Subtitle B—Other Regulations Relating to National Defense","CHAPTER XVI—SELECTIVE SERVICE SYSTEM","PART 1605—SELECTIVE SERVICE SYSTEM ORGANIZATION"],"source_url":"https://www.ecfr.gov/api/versioner/v1/full/2026-08-25/title-32.xml","current_through":"2026-08-25","vintage":"","retrieved_at":"2026-08-27T02:25:30Z","sha256":"8b7c769643f9ea29975ab33195a7f31eaa337bb58bfc3190e50a8a2933e48a9d","source_id":"us-cfr","stale":true,"prev":"us/32-cfr-1605.55","next":"us/32-cfr-1605.58"},"notice":"GroundRules: Original legal text.
