TC Operations > Voting > Full Majority

## Full Majority

A Full Majority Vote requires 'yes' votes from greater than 50% of all Voting Members. Abstentions are not counted.

For instance, in a TC in which there are 20 Voting Members, at least 11 must vote "yes" for a motion to pass.

Certain actions are identified in the TC Process as requiring a Full Majority vote:

- approval of a work product to Committee Draft stage
- approval to submit a Committee Draft for Public Review
- approval of a work product to Draft Errata stage
- approval of a Draft Errata to Final Errata stage
- election of a Chair or Co-Chair
- approval of a Standing Rule
- decision to close the TC

A Technical Committee has the option of using either the OASIS groupware system or email to run an electronic ballot. It must be noted, however, that all electronic ballots must be open for at least 7 days.
