Thanks in advance! “When a vote is to be taken by roll call (see 30 for the motion), the chair puts the question in a form like the following: CHAIR: As many as are in favor of the adoption of the resolution will, as their names are called, answer aye [or "yes," or "yea"]; those opposed will answer no [or “nay"]. The Secretary [or "the Clerk"] will call the roll. The roll is called in alphabetical order except that the presiding officer's name is called last, and only when his vote will affect the result... The secretary repeats each member's name and answer aloud as it is given” (RONR, 11th ed., pgs. 420-421) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
