Motion Tallies, Roll-Call Votes, and Resolution Records
Deliberating and voting on formal motions requires precise recording of ayes, nays, abstentions, and official resolution texts. Gavel structures motion tallies and voting records into machine-readable YAML frontmatter blocks.
Voting Invariants
- Granular Vote Tallies: Motions record explicit counts for ayes, nays, and abstentions alongside individual member vote arrays.
- Resolution Archival: Passed resolutions serialize into durable plain-text records referencing governing charter provisions.
- Execution Status Tracking: Board resolutions link to implementation logs to verify institutional follow-through.
Transparent motion tallies and resolution records maintain democratic accountability and traceable governance.
