Policy 4
8.6 Decision of vote
A Policy amendment is considered in force if, at the end of the balloting
period, it has received a majority of the votes cast. For example, if there
were 350 eligible voters, 100 of which cast a vote, then at least 51 affirma-
tive votes would be required to declare the amendment in force.
In the case of multiple policy changes which are considered on the same
ballot, a version must receive more than 50% of the votes cast to be consid-
ered ratified. "Abstain" is a valid vote in this case, effectively being a
vote for not changing the current policy as it simply increases the number of
votes required to ratify the proposed change.
******************************
I interperate this based om the first paragraph, if the vote is on a new
policy it only requires a majority.
