Whats the quorum for a vote?

0

‘Quorum’ is a tricky concept online. Over a 48-hour period, enough people will hear about the motion and have their chance to vote that a quorum is not strictly needed. That said, for a vote to be valid, at least twelve votes (aye, nay, or abstention) must be received, or the vote count must be such that if enough opposing votes were tallied to reach such threshold, the result would not change.* If not enough votes are received by the close of voting, the person running the vote may extend time at his discretion, or may simply consider voting closed in favor of the status quo. (*: Hi! I’m a helpful example! If a vote stood 6 in favor, 1 opposed, 1 abstention at the close of voting, it would be held to be valid even without having received twelve total votes, because no combination of new votes to bring the total to twelve would change the overall result.
