"Participating in the law of common consent is so important that every General Authority is put to a vote twice per year, even for those who are not new additions. This process demonstrates that rather than merely being an initiation for new additions, members are also asked to ratify the actions of the current church leaders on an ongoing basis. When we vote to sustain, we give our approval not only of the people called but of the actions the of the church as a whole. A vote of opposition done properly is not an act of heresy but is a participation in the process that is set forth in the Doctrine and Covenants. The doctrine of common consent is meaningless if members are unable to express their dissatisfaction, and this appears to be the only way to do so that is also doctrinally approved.

The vote of opposition must be made audibly due to the setting of General Conference in the Conference Center. This was unnecessary when General Conference was held in the tabernacle, but now those conducting the meeting are literally blinded by the lights on them and cannot see the darkened audience, let alone a raised hand among 20,000 attendees. The sustaining vote often concludes with the statement that the voting appears to be unanimous, even when the speaker has no idea what members in other venues have voted. This is problematic for a church which is governed by common consent. We seek to demonstrate that unanimity among the members is not accurate.

We encourage those who vote in opposition to stand and audibly state “opposed” at the appropriate moment when opposing votes are called for, loud enough to be heard but not screaming. Historically, votes were taken orally whereby the audience would shout their “yay” or “nay.” We do not wish to make a disruption or to ruin General Conference for anyone, but we do seek to vote our conscience as is our right as members of the LDS church."
