Keep Quorum and Votes-Cast Majority Denominators Separate

A majority of votes cast can exist without quorum, and quorum can exist with no votes cast. Put both denominators in the packet before asking a secretary whether the recorded motion followed the committee's actual rules.

HYPOTHESIS / PROTOTYPE — checkout unavailable. Calculation is local. A draft is saved automatically in this browser profile when storage is available; Reset to sample clears it. Optional Pro history stores only five summaries and has its own deletion control. State links encode your inputs and can remain in browser history, clipboard or recipients’ records; share only non-sensitive rows. Optional external AI formatting leaves this device. The required site analytics beacon reports page activity; shared URLs contain encoded inputs. Do not treat an encoded URL as private. The calculator has no input-collection endpoint.

Data note: The quorum-rule packet processes Motion code | eligible members | present members | yes votes | abstentions locally. Starter/sample selection and Run compute in this tab; no input is sent by the calculator. A local draft may be saved; explicit state-link sharing or optional external AI formatting can disclose inputs. Use non-sensitive labels.

Perspective: Before: one vote percentage was taken as proof of passage. After: eligible membership, quorum, cast votes and strict majority are separate tests.

Declared-rule arithmetic only, not legal advice or an official decision. Ask the committee secretary or a qualified governance adviser to confirm eligibility, quorum definitions, abstention treatment and the applicable voting rule against the governing document.

Before using the quorum-rule packet

The model assumes each eligible present member has one ordinary vote, yes plus no equals present minus abstentions, and passage requires both quorum and yes greater than half of cast votes. It does not model proxies, recusals, vacancies, weighted votes, supermajorities, chair casting votes, unanimous-consent procedures or jurisdiction-specific rules. The quorum percentage is supplied, and the required present count is rounded upward. Presence, eligibility and abstention definitions must come from the governing document and meeting record. Anonymous motion codes keep names and individual votes out of the input. A green arithmetic result means only that this model's two conditions hold for the counts entered.

Boundary and sources

Declared-rule arithmetic only, not legal advice or an official decision. Ask the committee secretary or a qualified governance adviser to confirm eligibility, quorum definitions, abstention treatment and the applicable voting rule against the governing document.

Optional AI formatting, never the calculation

Manual entry completes this quorum-rule packet for free without signup. If available to you, the free AI Studio interface linked in the sources may format fictional or non-sensitive notes; external access may require an account. No API key or AI call is built into this tool. Free-tier content may be used to improve products. Review each cell and transcribe it to the labeled row schema; do not paste the JSON object into the row box.

Format only these fictional or non-sensitive notes for a quorum-rule packet. Return strict JSON shaped as {"rows": [{"label": "string", "cells": ["string", "string", "string", "string"]}], "setting": "string"}. The columns are Motion code | eligible members | present members | yes votes | abstentions; the setting is Supplied quorum percentage of eligible members. Keep all supplied strings and quantities exactly; do not calculate, infer missing entries, invent dates or add advice. If any required value is missing, return an empty rows array and ask me for it separately. I will verify every cell against my source and manually transcribe rows using vertical bars before running the local calculator.

An AI response is not executed, fetched or trusted as a result. Missing values remain questions; the strict local parser checks the rows you actually enter.
