Worked example

See it in action

Eight members vote on two bylaws. Each bylaw needs 60% yes to pass - abstentions do not count either way.

  1. The ballots

    8 voters answer yes, no, or abstain on each option independently. A pass needs at least 60% yes - abstentions are left out of that percentage entirely.
