Which are recognized methods of voting according to parliamentary procedures?

• A. General Consent
• B. Voice Vote
• C. All Methods Shown
• D. Ballot

Answer: (C)

In parliamentary procedure, there are several standard ways to vote, and each of the listed methods is recognized for determining a motion’s fate. General consent is used when no one objects and the decision passes unless a member asks for a formal vote. A voice vote has members verbally indicating their support or opposition, with the chair judging the result by the relative volume of “yea” and “nay.” A ballot is a formal written vote, often used when a secret ballot or a precise tally is needed. Since all of these are recognized voting methods, the choice that combines them all is the best answer.
