A quick definition of paired vote:
A paired vote is when two members of a group agree to not vote, canceling each other out. This is usually done when one member cannot attend the meeting or wants to abstain from voting. It is a way to make sure that the vote is fair and reflects the opinions of those who are present and able to vote.
A more thorough explanation:
A paired vote is when two members of a voting body agree to abstain from voting, canceling each other out. This is usually done when one member cannot attend the meeting and wants to ensure that their absence does not affect the outcome of the vote.
For example, if there are 10 members in a voting body and one member cannot attend the meeting, they may pair their vote with another member who will vote the opposite way. This way, the absent member's absence does not affect the outcome of the vote.
