Parliamentary Rules of Procedure

Parliamentary Rules of Procedure are established guidelines that organize how meetings, debates, and decision-making occur within a legislative or organizational body. They ensure fairness, order, and efficiency by setting rules for presenting motions, discussing issues, voting, and respecting different opinions. These procedures help facilitate smooth, transparent decision-making processes, enabling members to participate effectively and decisions to be made democratically. In essence, they provide a structured framework to manage discussions and achieve consensus while maintaining order and fairness.
