The correct answer is: 5

There are five methods of voting that are commonly recognized in parliamentary procedure and organizational contexts. These methods are designed to facilitate decision-making within groups and can vary based on the formality of the meeting and the context in which voting takes place. The five methods typically include: 1. **Voice Voting**: Members express their approval or disapproval verbally, and the chair determines the outcome based on the volume of responses. 2. **Raising Hands**: Members physically raise their hands to indicate their vote, which allows for a visual count. 3. **Ballot Voting**: In this method, members cast their votes on paper or electronic ballots, typically ensuring privacy and confidentiality. 4. **Roll Call Voting**: Members' names are called in alphabetical order, and they respond with their vote, which allows for an accurate record of how each member voted. 5. **Consensus Voting**: Instead of formal voting, members come to a general agreement or consensus on a decision, often through discussion. Understanding these five methods allows members of organizations, such as FFA, to effectively participate in the decision-making process, ensure transparency, and uphold democratic principles within meetings.
