CRS-3 Voting on Amendments There are three methods of voting in committee: voice, division (show of hands), or record. A record vote requires support of one-fifth of the members present to demand such a vote. Pursuant to a House rules change agreed to in the 108th Congress, committees may adopt a committee rule that allows the committee or subcommittee chair to postpone votes on approving a measure, or adopting an amendment, and returning proceedings on a postponed question at any time after reasonable notice.
