What is motion carried?

What is motion carried?
In a meeting, when a motion is being considered, when the majority of the attendees vote for the motion, the motion is carried.

----------
when a majority of those eligible to vote on that motion, in many bodies any member who has checked in is considered eligible even if they are not present when the vote is taken.

In some bodies the chair can use a voice vote and the chair makes a decision on the result. A member may ask for a roll call if they feel the chair made a wrong decision on the voice vote.
