All non-procedural votes are by roll-call. States are called for their vote in order of the date that they were admitted to the Federacy, with one exception. [[Serikorda]] and [[Etivéra]], which happened to ratify the Fundamental Statute during the same hour on the same day and both claim the honour of being the first state, alternate voting first. The [[Stewardship of Wintergen|government-in exile of Wintergen Island]], despite representing one of the oldest parts of the Federacy, has been called last in every vote since [YEAR]. This is because, due to the occupation of [[Wintergen]] by [[Burgundie]], the state's Councillor is chosen by five non-elected legislators living in [[Kiygrava]]. As such, out of respect to the populated states and to ward off accusations of being a {{wp|pocket borough}}, the Wintergen Board of Estimate instructs its Councillors to abstain from legally-binding votes unless they are relevant to the status of Wintergen or are unanimous. Voting last allows the Wintergen Councillor to confirm that support for the measure is indeed unanimous before casting his vote. | All non-procedural votes are by roll-call.

*'''Bureau of Governance Analysis''' - In conjunction with the work of the Audit Court, the BGA reports on the efficiency and efficacy of federal programmes and administration, and identifies areas of potential waste, fraud, and abuse. It also conducts policy research and provides the Council with data and projections to inform its decisions on policy matters. | |||
*'''Constitutional Reform Council''' - Consultative body that studies proposals for constitutional reform and provides preliminary review of formally proposed constitutional amendments to be put before the Council.
