Voting basis
From Infogalactic: the planetary knowledge core
In parliamentary procedure, a deliberative assembly makes its decisions through voting. The bases for determining the voting result consist of two elements: (1) the percentage of votes that are required for a proposal to be adopted or for a candidate to be elected (e.g. more than half, two-thirds, three-quarters, etc.); and (2) the set of members to which the proportion applies (e.g. the members present and voting, the members present, the entire membership of the organization, the entire electorate, etc.).[1]
The voting result could also be determined using a plurality, or the most votes among the choices.[2]
In addition, a decision could be made without a formal vote by using unanimous consent.[3]
