• Some motions automatically require a ballot vote, most notably a motion which would set salaries of Town employees. Other motions can be by ballot vote if the requisite number of voters want it • Nahant By-Laws Article II section 9: “the Meeting may order that the vote on any motion shall be taken by a “yes” or “no” ballot furnished by the Town Clerk if, on a motion so made, there shall be 25 or more votes in the affirmative.” • The Town Moderator will explain the requirements required to approve each motion as it is presented.
