Richard Brown Posted April 10, 2021 at 10:05 PM Report Share Posted April 10, 2021 at 10:05 PM A tie vote occurs whenever there are an equal number of yes and no votes or two or more candidates receive the same number of votes. A motion fails on a tie vote since it is clearly not a majority. If it is a tie vote on a motion, the chair declares that that the vote is tied and the motion fails. That’s it.

And by the way, you can have a tie vote even if you have an odd number of members, since someone may be absent, or abstain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atul Kapur Posted April 11, 2021 at 03:17 PM Report Share Posted April 11, 2021 at 03:17 PM (edited) If the motion is to proceed with the new project, and the vote on that motion is a tie, then that motion is defeated. The decision has been made. It requires a majority to adopt a motion. A tie is not a majority.

A motion fails on a tie vote. It is decided. It is over and done with, unless someone re-introduces the same motion again at a later session. A motion fails on a tie vote of 2 to 2 just as much as it fails if the vote is 1 to 3 or 0 to 4. If there are four people voting on the motion, and if all four vote, it needs three yes votes in order to pass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
