Each commissioner present at the meeting has a vote on each question to be decided and, if the votes are equal, the person presiding also has a casting vote.
A commissioner present at the meeting who abstains from voting is taken to have voted for the negative.
The commission may hold meetings, or allow commissioners or officers mentioned in section 262 to take part in its meetings, by using any technology allowing reasonably contemporaneous and continuous communication between persons taking part in the meeting.
