Final answer:

According to Robert's Rules of Order Newly Revised, a rising vote is recommended for motions requiring a two-thirds vote for adoption. The three regular methods of voting are voice vote, roll call vote, and ballot vote.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to Robert's Rules of Order Newly Revised, the recommended method of voting on motions requiring a two-thirds vote for adoption is by rising vote, which includes a count unless the number of votes is obviously sufficient for a decision. When a motion could significantly affect the rights of members, a higher threshold such as a two-thirds vote ensures that there is a clear consensus for action.

Three regular methods of voting include:

  1. Voice vote (or viva voce) where members express their vote aloud.
  2. Roll call vote where each member's vote is recorded individually.
  3. Ballot vote, a secret vote on a piece of paper.

Each of these methods has different advantages, and the choice of which method to use can depend on factors such as the need for either anonymity or transparency, the size of the voting group, and the level of formality required.
