A quick definition of nonvoting member:
A nonvoting member is a person who is part of an organization or group but does not have the right to vote on important decisions. They can still participate in discussions and activities, but they cannot cast a vote. This type of membership is also called an informational or limited membership. In some cases, certain rights may be reserved for other types of members, such as full or voting members.
A more thorough explanation:
A nonvoting member is a member of an organization or assembly who does not have the right to vote on the organization's or assembly's business. They enjoy all other rights of participation, including making, debating, and discussing motions, except for the right to vote.
For example, in a student council, there may be nonvoting members who are there to provide information or represent a specific group, but they cannot vote on decisions made by the council.
In military law, a nonvoting member is a person assigned to a court-martial to determine guilt and punishment.
