Notice I did not mention landmarks. It is not a landmark to conduct monetary votes on a specific degree.
Not one jurisdiction outside of North America *ever* switched to conducting monetary votes in the Master Mason degree. Not even all jurisdictions in North America made the switch.
Your jurisdiction, your rules. I get that. It's why I expressed my opinion as myself. I don't support any of my jurisdictions maintaining a difference from the international standard univsally practiced without data as to why.
In Minnesota, an EA or FC can only visit another lodge if he's accompanied by a MM who actually saw him initiated or passed to vouch for him.
Among my jurisdictions California and Illinois practice that.
Texas issues a new brother a provisional dues card good only for EA, then one good only for EA/FC meetings. Texas, as usual, is wierd. It's crazy to call it a dues card, but that's just one more bit of evidence to support my personal opinion that it's time to go back to charging dues from the gate.
Sounds like a good idea, but what if you had other business that can only be dealt with on the 3rd Degree?
The word business has specific meanings in Masonry. One of those two meanings is monetary business. There's no need to only discuss expenses on the Master Mason degree in my opinion. The other meaning is the ballot box. I don't care if EA/FC participate in the ballot but it is my opinion witnessing the ballot is an excellent teaching experience for them.
I have had Masonic Education presentation ready that discussed third degree topics, when EAs showed up. Ah well, do that particular presentation at a different meeting.
