Practice question

- Yes, every nominee defect automatically dissolves the group.
- Yes, even if all other requirements are met.
- No, not solely on that basis when at least one nominee remains qualified.
- No, because no nominee ever needs qualifications.
- Yes, unless the group computes its own seats.
