What is the process called to bring back a motion that has already been voted on?

The process of bringing back a motion that has already been voted on is called "reconsider." This action allows members of a assembly to debate and potentially change the outcome of a previous decision. The motion to reconsider can typically only be made by someone who voted on the prevailing side of the original decision, which ensures that the members who opposed the decision are now afforded the opportunity to discuss it anew.

Reconsideration is an important procedural tool in parliamentary procedure, as it provides a mechanism for assembly members to correct potential mistakes or to address new information that has come to light since the original vote. This process helps ensure that the discussions remain flexible and responsive to the changing dynamics within the group.

The other terms mentioned—“restart,” “review,” and “renew”—do not accurately define the parliamentary procedure for bringing back previously voted motions. "Restart" is not a recognized parliamentary term, while "renew" often refers to introducing a new motion that is similar to a previous one rather than revisiting an already decided motion. "Review" suggests a discussion or examination but does not have the specific procedural implications that "reconsider" does.
