Per Robert's Rules of Order:

When the nominations are completed the assembly proceeds to the election. An election takes effect immediately if the candidate is present and does not decline, or if absent and has consented to candidacy. If absent and has not consented to candidacy, it takes effect when notified of election, provided member does not decline immediately. After the election has taken effect and the officer or member has learned the fact, it is too late to reconsider the vote on the election.
