What is a procedural vote?
Procedural votes manage how a meeting runs—for example, approving minutes, suspending rules, taking items out of order, recessing, or adjourning.
They are hidden by default. Check the box to include them.
Decisions on a specific issue—including amendments, referrals, and tabling—remain in the main results.
