David A Foulkes Posted July 16, 2011 at 02:12 AM Report Share Posted July 16, 2011 at 02:12 AM See page 406 in RONR (10th Ed.) for the many variations and possibilities. Basically it's aye (yes, or yea), no (nay), present (or abstain), and pass (which means I don't want to vote this first time around, so ask everyone else first, then come back to me).

I don't see why any reasonable response would be inadequate, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My favorite is when they answer Aye. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
