Members cannot change their votes after the result of a vote has been announced without the permission of the chapter.

• A. True
• B. False
• C. Only with the chair's permission
• D. Only with a majority vote

Answer: (A)

In this voting process, once the chair has announced the result, the decision is considered final. If someone wants to alter that result, there must be a formal action that the chapter approves to reopen the question—typically a reconsideration or similar motion. This requirement of permission ensures that changing a vote isn’t done casually and that the chapter consciously agrees to revisit the decision. That’s why the statement is true.
