Can a group/meeting change its vote?

How does a group/meeting change its vote?

What if a group/meeting submits its vote using the unique ID it was provided, and either discusses the issue and proposed changes further, or the composition of the meeting attendees changes, such that the group conscience shifts, and for these or any other reason, the group/meeting wants to change its vote after it has been submitted?
The response is same for all 3 questions above:
Each and every meeting/group has been provided with a ballot by email with its own unique voting ID, and MA World Services will only count the last vote a meeting/group submits using that group/meeting’s unique voting ID as that meeting/group’s conscience/vote. So, regardless of how many votes a meeting submits, whichever vote was entered last and recorded as of 11:59 PM on May 24, 2023, is the vote/group conscience that will be recorded for that meeting. So if a meeting/group entered one vote when it received the ballot, but for whatever reason wants to enter a different vote – so long as it is still before the deadline to submit votes of May 24, 2023, the meeting can simply use the same unique voting ID sent to it and use that same ID information to enter the new vote/group conscience it wants to change to, and that will get recorded as the last vote. The last vote entered before or on the May 24, 2023 deadline is the one that will be counted. Any previously entered votes from that group/meeting will be disregarded as null and void by the later subsequent vote.
