Yes, a vote on a motion that has been seconded can typically be delayed through a procedural action known as "tabling" or "postponing." Members may propose to postpone the vote to a later time or date, often requiring a majority vote to approve the delay. Additionally, some organizations may have specific rules on how and when a vote can be delayed, so it's important to consult the governing documents or bylaws.
What else can I help you with?
Does a election vote by acclamation require the motion to be seconded?
No, a vote by acclamation does not require a motion to be seconded. In a vote by acclamation, the chairperson simply asks if anyone objects to a particular candidate or proposal, and if no objections are raised, the vote is considered unanimous and no formal motion or second is needed.
After a motion has been seconded what do you say?
You can then open the floor for discussion by saying "The motion has been seconded and is now open for discussion."
How do you withdraw a motion made and seconded?
To withdraw a motion that has been made and seconded, the person who made the motion must request to withdraw it, typically by saying, "I withdraw my motion." If there is no objection from the seconding party or others present, the motion is considered withdrawn. If there is an objection, a vote may be required to decide whether to allow the withdrawal. Always check the specific rules of the governing body or organization, as procedures may vary.
When you have a motion with a second and ask for the vote and none of the board members say anything is it passed or failed?
If no board members speak up after the motion is seconded and the chair asks for the vote, it is typically considered a failed motion due to lack of support or consensus. The lack of response indicates that there is not clear approval for the motion to pass.
Does a amendment for a motion need to moved and seconded?
Yes
How do you vote out a stockholder and what should the meeting minutes say?
If you have a shareholder agreement that allow a shareholder to be voted out, you should follow what the agreement says. Call a meeting, have a quorum present, vote. The minutes should reflect that all of that took place, that the meeting was called, a quorum was present, a motion was made, it was seconded, there was discussion (or not), there was a vote, and the motion carried (or not).

Is seconded a word?
Yes. Most commonly this word arises in describing a formal meeting where a motion has been made. For a motion to be formally considered, another individual must express support for its consideration. This is done by saying, "I second that motion." Once that stage has occurred, the motion is described as seconded. For example, "Ms. Wilson has seconded the motion to adjourn which must be voted on immediately in accordance with Robert's Rules of Order." The word less commonly is encountered when discussing the ranking of things. If an item is put in second place, it may be said to have been "seconded." In that case it can also be an adjective, "The seconded item was taken off of the winner's pedestal." There are other variations of usage, but most are related to these two examples.
What possible criticism do you see of the six week delay between the popular vote and the elector's vote?
There are many possible criticisms for this delay. The first being if a democratic system is supposed to be the vote of the people why is there a delay? The second being what is the need for the electors vote?
Can a motion passed and seconded be added after the meeting closed?
No. If the meeting waa gavelled to a close, under "Robert's Rules of Order," the meeting would have to be opened again and re-convened, and a quorum of the meeting members would have to be present in order to vote.
What is the difference between a filibuster and closure in the senate?
A filibuster is a delay tactic to prevent a motion (e.g., a motion on a legislative bill) from being voted on by the member of the assembly in which the motion is being considered. Fillibusters extend debate on the motion to obstruct its passage. Cloture is an action that ends debate so that the assembled body may vote on the motion. Therefore, cloture can end a filibuster so that the motion may be put to the floor for a vote. In the U.S. Senate, for example, cloture can be achieved with a 3/5 vote (i.e., 60 of 100 Senators).
