86 Standing Orders of the Congress<br />

11 Calculation of majorities<br />

1.<br />

The simple majority (more than 50%) shall be calculated for elections, votes<br />

and other decisions on the basis of the number of valid ballot papers collected<br />

or the number of valid votes cast electronically. Blank ballot papers, invalid<br />

votes or electronic votes manipulated in any other way as well as abstentions<br />

shall be disregarded when calculating the simple majority.<br />

2.<br />

The absolute majority (more than 50%) shall be calculated on the basis of the<br />

number of member associations present and eligible to vote.<br />

3.<br />

If during an election a member association casts two or more votes in support<br />

of one candidate on one ballot paper or through an electronic vote counter in<br />

an election round, or if during a vote a member association casts two or more<br />

votes for the same matter, only the last vote cast shall be considered valid and<br />

counted.<br />
