In Tennessee, when someone is put up for KYCH, the list of that year's candidates is sent out for all the KYCHs in the state to see. If you meet the requirements, there has to be a valid reason for an objection, and I think it has to be more than one. In former times, a reason didn't have to be given, and one person with a grudge could prevent you from getting it. That has been corrected.
The way we do RCC, a proposal is read at your conclave's meeting, the proposal is forwarded on, then if returned favorably from the national body, the name is sent out to all the members of the conclave in case someone was not at the meeting, and it is balloted on by the members of the conclave at the next meeting. Maybe that's just the way we do it, and maybe it's always been done incorrectly, but the proposal is sent off before we vote.
