Description of the data
-
The vote record data for a meeting becomes available when the minutes for a meeting have been published.
-
Since 2010, recorded votes have been made available in this downloadable format (not just in the published minutes).
-
Votes generated in the report are recorded votes only. Under Article 12 of the Council Procedures by-law, the City Clerk may be asked to record a vote for specific types of motions that are made by members during a meeting. When requested, votes are recorded as "Yes", "No" or "Absent"
"Absent" can also indicate that a member chose not to participate in a vote because they declared an interest under the Municipal Conflict of Interest Act.
