Can a motion of acceptance be made after a vote?

I am in an organization that has 2 councils that wish to merge.  They've had a town hall meeting to discuss the merge.  Then they did an email vote where they stated that a motion was on the table to merge (but no motion was shared).  The vote was in favour of the merge.  Now, the higher council has sent a motion to accept the vote as final.  How do those who were against the merge vote as they've been told this won't change the result? Was this the appropriate way to have proceeded or should the vote to merge have included a motion to merge?

If this is an unincorporated society, see RONR, 11th ed.  pgs. 562-563 for the proper procedures for a merger or consolidation. If this is an incorporated society, consult an attorney.
