identity of members voting

[Guest Ruth Seiders]

As a member of a ruling council, when we take a vote, am I bound to reveal how I voted?

[Gary Novosielski]

No, unless the vote was a roll-call vote, in which case your vote would be recorded in the minutes.  

 

Otherwise,

 

In a voice vote or rising vote, it's rather difficult to vote without revealing where you stand (on the issue)

 

In a ballot vote, the whole point is not to reveal how you voted.
