blank

blank. Parliamentary law.

1. A ballot cast without a vote, effectively an abstention.

2. A name, number, time, or other term left open in a motion, to be filled in by vote after taking proposals from the floor. • An election is a common form of filling a blank: each nomination is effectively a proposal for filling the blank in the question, “Resolved, That _______ is elected.” See CREATE A BLANK; FILL A BLANK.
