No vote is necessary or proper on the final form of the minutes. After any corrections are dealt with the presiding officer simply declares the minutes approved [or approved as corrected] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, a vote is not proper. The only way to object to final approval of the minutes is to offer a correction. Once no (further) corrections are offered, the minutes stand approved (as read/printed/corrected). Votes may be necessary on individual corrections if there is not unanimous consent to agree to the correction. Corrections are treated exactly like a proposed amendment to the secretary's draft minutes. If not agreed to by general consent, a majority vote is required to agree to them.
