The following options control the display and behavior of the Vote Proctor window:
• Enable
Displays the Vote Proctor window when the signal block is enabled. Also enables the
Voting | Start Voting command. If unchecked, the window cannot be opened at all.
• Auto-name vote
The server generates a name for the vote based on the current date and time, in the form
yymmdd_hhmmss. Applies only to an otherwise unnamed vote; and only when the vote is
started from Vote Proctor window. The Start Vote button, normally disabled until an
agenda has been set, is enabled. Note that this option is independent of the option of the
same name under the Control System Interface tab
• Secret Ballot
During a vote, seat icons displayed in the Vote Proctor window turn grey as they vote.
Actual votes are tallied to the Vote Proctor window only after the floor is closed.
NOTE: A “secret ballot” is actually only secret while the floor is opened. Once the floor is
closed, the vote is published.

Defines the, Enable and Enabled signals which permit the signal block to be enabled
and disabled from the control system. Normally not needed.

are all that need to be defined for a simple vote control console such as a lighted button
panel.

TallyExcused. These are analog signals used by the server to transmit vote status to the
control system "live" (during a vote).
