 Robert’s Rules of Order

Call to Order – The chair of the meeting starts by calling for ORDER amongst Senators

Motions – When a Senator as “I move to…” they are calling for action to happen in the meeting. All motions
must be “seconded” by another Senator. All motions must be voted upon. Different calls to motion include

A) Move to vote – when it is time for a group to vote on a matter

B) Move to table – when a discussion lasts to long and it would be wise to discuss at the next meeting
C) Move to adjourn – when a senator sees the meeting is over, they can call for adjournment.
D) Move to Discuss – Typically in the beginning of the meeting someone will move to add items to the
agenda.
E) General Motions – Senators may move other items into consideration, such as “I move to form a
committee” or “I move to create a new position or rule”. The group votes on whether to discuss,
discussion occurs, and then a Senator must move to vote to finalize the matter.
Votes – When voting the chairperson will call for a vote. They may say “All in favor” and Senators will reply
“aye” or “nay”. Additionally, The chairperson can ask for a hand vote or paper vote.

Division - simply division is a method for taking a better estimate of a vote than a voice vote.[1] Typically, a
division is taken when the result of a voice vote is challenged or when a two-thirds vote is required. A
division is also called a rising vote, where members stand up from their seats.

Abstention - an instance of declining to vote for or against a proposal or motion.
