Main Motion


Guest BBQ

Recommended Posts

A multiple issue main motion is made including the vote be by ballot. A motion is not made to divide the question. However a motion is made to amend the motion. Question - is it in order for the vote on the amendment to be other than ballot?

I'd think so, since the motion (or part of the motion) to hold a ballot vote has yet to be adopted.

Besides, it looks as though you have your carts and horses interchanged. Obviously, when you vote on the main motion, including the part that says "vote by ballot", the "vote by ballot" portion will not have been adopted yet.

So... what you need is the incidental motion "Vote by ballot" to be adopted first before voting (by ballot, presumably) on the main multiple issue motion. See RONR, p. 273 ff.
