FonzolandFeb 18 2006, 12:01 PM We would also like to enquire what the regional voting procedure is. Are there circumstances (other than an exact for/against split) which would lead the delegate to refrain from voting? [/quote]

In case of moral issues with a resolution, the delegate can choose not to follow the region's decision. In that case, abstaining from voting is the preferred way of dealing with that situation. In all cases, the delegate must explain their vote. [/quote]
I plan on voting however the region decides. There are very few things that I have a very strong opinion on, and most of the time I agree with the region. There are really only one or two resolutions that I would consider abstaining on (one of them is the drug legalization resolution coming up, Antrium is entirely drug-free)
I don't know what would happen if there was a tie between for and against, in that case I would assume I could decide which way to vote. (if someone knows the official procedure, feel free to help me out here
)
