Any measure may be put to a ballot by majority vote of the members present and voting at a meeting of the Divisional Senate Assembly. The date for receipt of the ballot may be set by vote of the members present, or may be left to the decision of the Chair Elect-Secretary, except that it must be not less than eight (8) nor more than twenty-five (25) days of instruction after the meeting. At least five days before the date set for receipt of ballots, the Chair Elect-Secretary shall prepare and send to each voting member of the Division a ballot containing all appropriate texts and a brief summary of such arguments as have been submitted up to three days before the mailing. All ballots received by the specified date shall be delivered to the Chair Elect-Secretary, who shall be responsible for certifying the results and reporting the number of votes at the next regular meeting of the Divisional Senate Assembly, or earlier if so instructed by the Chair or the Cabinet.

Any resolution or legislation considered by the Divisional Senate Assembly or the Division, and not already subject to reconsideration by a ballot, may be submitted for reconsideration by a special ballot of the Division on the written petition of seven (7) percent of the Senate membership, provided such petition is filed with the Chair Elect-Secretary within ten (10) days of instruction after the date of distributing the minutes at which a specific action was taken. The Chair of the Division shall solicit appropriate arguments pro and con to be included, if available, with the special ballot and, in the case of proposed legislation, the recommendation of the Senate Cabinet shall accompany the ballot. Distribution of the special ballot, voting, and counting shall be left to the decision of the Chair Elect-Secretary, except that the date for the return of the special ballot must not be less than eight (8) nor more than twenty-five (25) days of instruction after the petition for the special ballot is received by the Chair Elect-Secretary. The report on the balloting shall be made to the Division in the call to the next Divisional Senate Assembly meeting, or earlier if so instructed by the Chair or the Cabinet.
