What type of motion ranks the lowest in terms of priority?

A main motion is the type of motion that ranks the lowest in terms of priority within parliamentary procedure. This motion is used to introduce a new item of business for discussion and decision. It must be addressed before other types of motions that often have higher priorities, such as privileged motions, which pertain to urgent matters or the comfort and convenience of the assembly, and subsidiary motions, which modify or affect the main motion.

Main motions require full debate and a majority vote before they can be adopted. Since they are the foundation upon which business is conducted, they come last in the priority hierarchy, meaning that they cannot interrupt urgent matters or other procedural motions. This structured ranking allows for orderly conduct of meetings, ensuring that more pressing issues are resolved first and that the assembly maintains an efficient flow of discussion.
