Once a motion has been moved or seconded, you can record votes for the motion. You can record the votes by each member. The results of the vote display in the meeting tree under the motion being voted on.
If you are using Voting, members can submit their votes from the Voting Client. You will need to open and close the voting session. See Opening Motions for Moving and Seconding.
Note the following:
-
If a motion is not selected in the tree, the Move, Second, For, Against, and Recuse columns are hidden.
-
When a member has a status of Out, the For, Against, Abstain, and Recuse columns are locked. If Voting is being used, the clerk has the ability to mark a vote even if a member is marked as out.
-
If a motion does not have a mover, the Second column is locked for all members.
-
When a member is marked as a Mover, note the following:
