§ 12216 Member Voting Rights Rules

• •If some members get more than one vote, count the total votes, not just the people.
• •If someone can't vote on something, they don't count toward the number needed to make a decision.
• •This rule helps make sure voting is fair when not everyone has the same voting power.

Imagine a club where some members get two votes because they help out more. The club is deciding whether to buy new equipment.

If 10 members are voting but 2 of them get two votes each, the total votes are 12. To pass the decision, they need at least 7 votes (more than half of 12). If 3 members can't vote because the decision affects them personally, they don't count toward the 10 needed to make the decision.
