The order of voting on motions is the reverse order of their proposal.

• A. True
• B. False
• C. It depends on the motion
• D. Never

Answer: (A)

In parliamentary procedure, when more than one motion or amendment is on the floor, you typically vote in the reverse order of when they were proposed. This setup lets the most recent changes be considered first, before locking in earlier proposals, and it culminates in voting on the main motion only after all amendments have been decided.

For example, if the group has a main motion and two amendments to it, you would first vote on the latest amendment, then on the earlier amendment, and only after those are settled would you vote on the main motion as amended. This reverse-order approach helps ensure that the final form of the main motion reflects all proposed changes.

So, this statement is true because the voting sequence is arranged to address the newest proposed modifications before the original form of the motion. The other choices don’t fit the standard practice: it’s not never, and it’s not simply always dependent on the type of motion in a way that would override this general rule.
