Voting—5a

Plenary Voting: One Extra Step

In plenary sessions, advisory delegates are polled before commissioners vote. The process works like this:

  1. Advisory delegates see a polling panel and cast their poll—the process is identical to voting
  2. Polling results are displayed by advisory delegate type—all participants can see these results
  3. The moderator announces: "Commissioners, you have been advised. You may vote when your voting panel is displayed."
  4. Commissioners vote using the same process described above
  5. Commissioner voting results are displayed

In committee meetings, everyone votes at the same time—there is no separate advisory delegate poll.
