▲'''Objection to the consideration of a question''' is a method in [[parliamentary procedure]] of preventing a motion from coming before the assembly.<ref>RONR (10th ed.) p. 258</ref>{{verify source}} It requires a two-thirds vote to be sustained and is not debatable. It is classed as an [[incidental motion]].
This objection may be applied only to an original main motion, that is, a main motion that brings a new substantive issue before the assembly, as opposed to an incidental main motion. The objection may be raised only before debate has begun on the motion, as the purpose is to completely suppress debate on the motion.
This motion is not recognized in [[The Standard Code of Parliamentary Procedure]] and is criticized for being confusing. The ''Standard Code'' offers alternative motions for accomplishing the same purpose. <ref>Standard Code (4th ed.), p. 233-234.</ref>{{verify source}} Some organizations have bylaw provisions specifying that an objection to the consideration of a question is not in order at any time.
