House Rule 67
Verification
and Challenge
Upon completion of a
roll call and before the result is announced, if there appears to be need for
verification, the Speaker may direct the Clerk to verify it, or three members
may demand a verification.
Any member may
challenge in writing the yea or nay or electrically recorded vote of other
members. The allegations made shall be investigated by a committee composed of
the Speaker, a majority member and a minority member appointed by the Speaker,
who shall submit a report to the House not later than its next session. The
House shall then decide whether the challenged vote shall be recorded or not.
If the challenged
vote would change the result, the announcement of the vote shall be postponed
until the House decides the case.
