A quick definition of alternate:

Term: ALTERNATE

Definition: An alternate is someone who is chosen to take the place of another person, usually in the same way that the original person was chosen. For example, if a delegate cannot attend a meeting, an alternate may be chosen to go in their place. An alternate is like a backup or substitute.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: In parliamentary law, an alternate is a person who serves as a proxy for a delegate. The alternate is usually chosen in the same manner as the delegate, rather than being chosen by the delegate.

Example: In a meeting of a political party, a delegate may not be able to attend due to illness or other reasons. In such a case, an alternate may be chosen to attend the meeting and vote on behalf of the delegate. The alternate is chosen by the same process as the delegate, such as through an election or appointment.

Explanation: The example illustrates how an alternate is chosen to serve as a proxy for a delegate who is unable to attend a meeting. The alternate is chosen in the same manner as the delegate, ensuring that the alternate represents the same interests and views as the delegate. This allows for continuity and consistency in decision-making within the organization.
