Weldon Merritt Posted November 6, 2020 at 09:15 PM Report Share Posted November 6, 2020 at 09:15 PM I recall reading in RONR that a Point of Order should not be used for the chair's erroneous announcement of the result of a voice vote, but a Division of the Assembly should be used instead. However, I can't find that in either the 11th or 12th editions. I suppose I could be mistaken, but I don't think so. I'm probably just overlooking it somehow. Can anyone point me to the right provision? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can anyone point me to the right provision? "The chair’s judgment as to the more numerous side in a vote, or whether there are two thirds in the affirmative, also is not a ruling and is not subject to appeal. If a member doubts the correctness of such an announced result, however, he should call for a Division (see 29) or move that the vote be counted." RONR (12th ed.) 24:7 "If the chair made a procedural error in declaring a motion adopted or lost, for example, in declaring that a motion which received a majority vote but not a two-thirds vote was adopted when a two-thirds vote was required under the rules, a point of order may be raised to that effect." RONR (12th ed.) 24:7n4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weldon Merritt Posted November 7, 2020 at 01:08 AM Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2020 at 01:08 AM Thanks, Josh. That's exactly what I was looking for. I was looking under Point of Order and under Voting, but I didn't think to look under Appeal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
