After voting, what is the role of the chair regarding the motion?

The chair's role after voting on a motion is to state the result. This is an essential part of the meeting process as it ensures that all attendees are aware of the outcome of the vote, whether the motion has been approved or denied. Stating the result provides clarity and official recognition of the decision made by the group, thereby facilitating the continuation of the meeting based on that outcome.

In addition, the chair may also summarize the motion that was voted on and reiterate any implications or next steps that arise from the vote. This helps to maintain an organized and structured meeting environment. While preparing the minutes, accepting new motions, and conducting further discussions are important responsibilities of the chair, they follow after the result of the vote has been announced.
