Do AGM motions need a mover and seconder before voting?

At our recent AGM, there was no vote taken on any of the motions. Is it a requirement that all motions at an AGM have a mover and seconder and then are put to the vote?

Once all motions are set out in an agenda/notice of meeting, they simply get voted on. They pass or fail.

In practice, once all motions are set out in an agenda/notice of meeting, they simply get voted on. They pass or fail. However, if there are minor amendments to a motion which do not have a substantive impact on the intention of the motion, then that amendment is proposed and seconded (as you suggest), then that amendment is put to the vote and the motion amended accordingly. The Chairperson may make determinations as to technical matters such a quorums and procedural matters including ruling motions out-of-order.
