This signal is accepted by the Voting Computer while the floor is opened for voting

only. Even when the floor is opened, it will be ignored when the seat has been

excused from the vote, either by the operator prior to opening the floor, or by the

seat itself via a prior pulse of its Excuse signal.

During a regular vote, a seat may pulse its Yes, No, and Abstain signals at will

while the floor is opened. The most recently pulsed signal is considered definitive

at the moment the floor is closed. However, if the seat pulses its Excuse signal,

further pulses of any of these signals are be ignored. (The operator can however

adjust the seat’s vote after the floor is closed.)

During attendance-taking, a seat may pulse its Yes (for PRESENT)and No (for

ABSENT) signals at will while the floor is opened. Again, the most recently pulsed

signal is considered definitive at the moment the floor is closed.

Only PRESENT is really germane since the default vote is ABSENT. The reason the

No signal is accepted here is just in case a member of the body hits the Yes button

for the wrong seat, realizes his mistake, and wishes to undo it by hitting the No

button.
