The Chair of the Senate shall call for a roll-call vote on any resolution or motion that he/she judges to reflect significant lack of consensus. In this case, the minutes of the meeting will reflect the vote cast by each senator in attendance, yea, nea, or abstaining.

A simple majority of the body will suffice to overrule the chair’s decision on the method of the vote (after a motion to overrule has been made, seconded, and appropriately discussed). Thus, the body may specify a role-call vote when the chair has asked for a voice vote, or the body may specify a voice vote when the chair has asked for a role-call vote.
