The ‘Calculate over:’ radio buttons allow you to 
specify whether the majority is calculated over the 
number of authorized delegates, the number of votes 
excluding abstentions or the total number of votes 
including abstentions. 
As an example of specifying a majority, the following 
settings would be made to produce a majority 
corresponding to over half the authorized delegates 
voting 'Yes' or 'For': 

• 

numerator – 1 

• 

denominator – 2 

• 

constant – 1 

• 

calculate over: Authorized del. 

 
In the above example, the number of authorized 
delegates would be multiplied by 1/2. The number 
one would then be added to this figure to produce 
the final majority i.e. over half the authorized 
delegates. 
 

 i 

   Note 

The figures entered in the numerator and 
denominator edit fields can be a maximum of 
three digits. The denominator cannot be zero. 
The figure entered in the constant edit field can 
be a maximum of four digits, and have a 
maximum value of 1500. 

 
To continue: 

•  Enter the desired values in the ‘Formula’ edit 

fields, and click on the required radio button in 
the ‘Calculate over:’ window. 

•  Click on the ‘Insert’ push button. 

The majority will now appear in the list box, and can 
be selected from the Control window. The procedure 
for editing an existing majority is almost identical to 
that for creating a new majority. The only differences 
are that you must first move the majority to the 
formula edit fields. The specifications are carried out 
as for creating a new majority. To edit an existing 
majority: 

•  Highlight the majority in the list of current 

majorities. 

•  Click on the ‘Recall’ push button. 

The specifying of name and formula is carried out as 
for creating a new majority. 
 

 i 

   Note 

Any majority in the list box can be deleted by 
first highlighting it and then clicking on the 
‘Delete’ push button.
