present and voting

present and voting. Parliamentary law. (Of a member) casting a vote. • The result of a vote is ordinarily determined with reference to the members voting (often termed, somewhat redundantly, as “present and voting”). An answer of “present” when casting a vote amounts to an abstention because the voter is indicating that he or she is present but not voting. See ABSTAIN (1).
