Pardon the omission of the requested details. I'm trying to be as vague as possible to avoid possible embarrassment to certain persons. Hopefully, this additional explanation will assist. The person that counted the standing vote (the chair's personal secretary) announced to the chair that they still needed one vote, since the 2/3 required majority had not been reached. At that point, the chair contemporized that he wished to remain neutral, but was considering casting a voite. At that point, to me, it would seem that the vote had ended, with all parties (except the chair) having made their vote by standing or remaining seated. Before the vote was announced by the chair as having passed or failed to pass, someone that had been seated stood up, thus changing their vote. At that point, the chair announce that the motion had passed, and entertained a motion to adjourn.

Let me try to clarify ... a vote was taken on a motion which required a 2/3 majority to pass. It started with a voice vote, which was inconclusive, so a standing vote was taken. The number standing was less than the required 2/3, and they asked the chair to cast the decisive vote. While the chair was contemplating, a couple of people which had not been standing, rose and their change in vote met the 2/3 requirement. The chair then recognized a motion to adjourn and the meeting ended. Does that help?

What are the options available if a voting error is discovered after a meeting has been adjourned and an invalid vote allowed the passage of a motion? Votes were changed after the result was announced, without querying the body if that was acceptable. If something can be done to redress the issue, how is this process handled? Thanks for your assistance!
