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.

registration.
