A motion is a proposal to the group that it take a stand or action on some issue. A main motion presents a subject to the group. For example, I move that we purchase T-shirts . A subsidiary motion changes or has an effect on how the main motion is handled. A ballot vote is on a piece of paper and turned in for counting.
Members show agreement by remaining silent.
If someone disagrees, they should voice their objections, after which, the matter must be put to a vote. Using parliamentary procedure can be a successful way to get things done at a meeting, but it only works if you use it right. Also, parliamentary procedure is not for everyone. Depending upon the nature of your organization, you may prefer, and it may be more appropriate, for you to conduct business on a more informal basis.
