This signal is accepted by the Voting Computer only while the floor is opened for
voting only. Even when the floor is opened, it will be ignored
§
when the signal block is not configured to allow excuses [
Excuse (conflict-of-
interest)
checkbox,
Additional vote buttons
frame,
Rules
tab,

window];
§
when the seat has been excused from the vote, either by the operator prior to
opening the floor, or by the seat itself via a prior pulse of its
Excuse
signal; or
§
when taking attendance (voting sequence started by
Attendance
signal rather than
Start
signal).
The seat may pulse its
Yes, No,
and
Abstain
signals at will while the floor is
opened. The most recently pulsed signal is considered definitive at the moment the
floor is closed. However, if the seat pulses its
Excuse
signal, further pulses of any
of these signals are be ignored. (The operator can however adjust the seat’s vote
after the floor is closed.)
The definition of the
Abstain
s
signal set is optional. Note however that even when
not defined, the signal block may still be configured to allow abstentions. In such a
case, while the seat would not be able to abstain, his vote could still count as an
abstention under the following two circumstances:
§
The default vote is set to Abstain (
ABSTAIN
checkbox,
Default votes
frame,
Rules
tab,
Voting Console Signal Block Definition
window).
§
After the floor is closed , the Operator adjusts the seat’s vote from the touchpanel
or from the
Vote Proctor
window.
