|What is threshold of votes to indicate consensus and approval?||A document is approved when 2/3 of designated voters casting ballots vote to approve (not counting abstentions).
|If two options appear on a ballot, consensus is achieved when one option gains two-thirds of the vote. If more than two options appear on the ballot and no one position gains two-thirds of the votes, the top two options determined by the votes cast will be used in a second ballot.
|Official consensus is not determined using an unofficial ballot.
