Division of the Assembly - PPTQ Sec 29

If you call for a Division of the Assembly at a meeting of seventy members, this means that the vote must be taken again by

• voice

• rising

• raising of hands

• paper ballot

Which of the following must be ordered after a demand by only one member?

• Object to Consideration

• Division of the Assembly

• Withdrawal of a Motion (during debate)

• Previous Question

A member can call for a division of the assembly on a motion from the time the negative vote has been cast until

• adjournment

• the chair announces the outcome of the voting

• adjournment at the next regular meeting

• the announcement of the result is complete or immediately thereafter

The motion to call for a Division of the Assembly

• is debatable

• does not require a second

• requires a vote

• is amendable

If a member calls for a Division when a voice vote is obviously a majority, the chairman should

• conduct the rising vote

• declare to the assembly that the call for a Division is dilatory

• conduct another voice vote because it is faster

• conduct a rising, counted vote and enter the votes in the minutes

The chairman has announced the results of a voice vote on an amendment. The result was close. What could you say from your seat, without obtaining the floor, to demand that the chair take another vote by rising?

• Division

• I call for a division

• I doubt the result of the vote

• Any of the above
