George Mervosh Posted October 11, 2013 at 03:22 PM Report Share Posted October 11, 2013 at 03:22 PM Maybe. There are very strict limits on doing so. "In voting by any of these methods (including a counted rising vote), a member has the right to change his vote up to the time the result is announced. After that, he can make the change only by unanimous permission of the assembly." RONR (11th ed.), p. 48 " A member may raise a point of order regarding the conduct of the vote, demand a division of the assembly, move to retake the vote under another method, move for a recapitulation of a roll-call vote, or request unanimous consent to change his vote. With the exception of a point of order raised against a breach of a continuing nature (p. 251, ll. 3–23), if any of these actions is to apply to a vote after the result has been announced, it must be taken immediately after the chair's announcement, before any debate or business has intervened." RONR (11th ed.), pp. 408-9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
