What occurs to a motion that is not seconded during a meeting?

When a motion is not seconded during a meeting, it essentially does not proceed further in the discussion or decision-making process. The act of seconding a motion indicates that at least one other member of the group supports the consideration of the motion. If no one seconds the motion, it implies that there is a lack of interest or agreement within the assembly to move forward with it. Consequently, the motion "dies" or is dropped since it didn’t gain enough support to warrant further examination or debate.

In the context of parliamentary procedure, this process ensures that only those motions with sufficient backing are taken up by the group, which helps to maintain order and focus in meetings.
