Guest Rick Posted June 24, 2012 at 06:27 PM Report Share Posted June 24, 2012 at 06:27 PM Do abstentions count in the percentage calculation of a vote. For instance, 12 people vote on a motion that requires 80% approval to pass. 8 vote in favor, 2 vote against, and 2 abstain. Does the motion pass?

Chris Harrison Posted June 24, 2012 at 07:39 PM Report Share Posted June 24, 2012 at 07:39 PM Generally unless there is some qualifying language in the voting requirement (such as 80% of the members present or of the entire membership) only those who chose to vote on the question count towards the percentage.
