What is the result if a motion fails to receive a second?

When a motion fails to receive a second, it does not move forward for discussion or consideration. The requirement for a second is a fundamental aspect of parliamentary procedure, ensuring that at least one other member supports the motion before it is debated. If no one seconds the motion, it indicates a lack of interest or support from the members present, and therefore, the motion is not placed on the agenda for discussion. It simply remains unaddressed, effectively eliminating it from consideration in that meeting. This process helps streamline discussions and ensures that only motions with some level of support are deliberated by the group.
