Guest Sharon Posted October 8, 2018 at 05:04 PM Report Share Posted October 8, 2018 at 05:04 PM If a Village Board has already voted on an specific item and amended an Ordinance, can this item be brought back for a re-vote? Any help is appreciated. Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So far as RONR is concerned, there is no such thing as a "revote." There are some ways, though, to bring an item back before the assembly. Most important in this context is "rescind or amend something previously adopted" which requires a majority vote with notice, a 2/3 vote, or a majority vote of the entire membership. Another option is sometimes reconsider, which requires only a majority, may only be moved by someone who voted on the winning side (or, in committee, did not vote on the losing side), and may only be moved at the same meeting, or the next meeting or a multi-meeting session (in committee, no such time limit exists). If reconsider is adopted, the motion is brought back before the assembly in the same parliamentary posture as before its adoption. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
