The Grand Knight is the conductor of the debate and should, in most cases, remain as impartial to either side as possible. However, should he choose to vote, please note the following:

• If the Grand Knight’s vote causes a tie, the motion is then lost.
• If a vote is a tie without the vote of the grand knight, he has the option to cast his vote and thus carry or deny the motion.

When voting by ballot, there is this important difference: The grand knight must vote in the same way as the other members, and therefore has no deciding vote.
