What is the term for a motion that counts the vote again?

• A. Reconsider
• B. Refer to a Committee/Commit
• C. Regular meeting
• D. Recount

Answer: (D)

When an assembly wants to verify the tally, the term used is recount. This motion is specifically about having the votes counted again to ensure accuracy, often after the initial result is announced or if there’s doubt about the tally. If the recount changes the result, that new outcome stands; if not, the original result remains. This is different from reconsideration (which is about bringing a decision back for discussion), referring a matter to a committee (which sends it to a smaller group for study or amendment), or simply noting a regular meeting (which is just a type of meeting, not a voting action).
