Which item is not part of the chair's standard announcement of a main motion's vote result?

• A. The exact vote tally by member
• B. Which side has it
• C. Whether the motion is adopted or lost
• D. A statement of the effect of the vote

Answer: (A)

In a standard chair’s post-vote report, the focus is on the outcome and its immediate consequence, not on naming how each member voted. The chair announces which side prevailed (for example, “theayes have it”) and whether the motion is adopted or lost. They also state the effect of the vote—what action will follow or how the assembly will proceed as a result. The precise vote tally by individual members isn’t part of this routine announcement; such a detailed breakdown is typically recorded in minutes or handled through ballots, not spoken aloud as the normal report. Therefore, the exact vote tally by member is the element that does not fit the standard announcement.
