SettingMeaning
One vote per unitEvery eligible unit counts the same.
By area (default)Each unit's vote weighs its floor area.
By ownership shareEach unit's vote weighs its share. Units without a share can't vote.
Quorum (default 50%)Weight cast, including abstentions, divided by all eligible weight.
Majority (default 50%)The leading option's weight divided by the weight cast for options (abstentions excluded). A tie never passes.

While voting is open

  • A vote that opens in the future is Scheduled and can still be edited until it opens.
  • Once open it can't be edited. Live turnout shows units voted and weight cast against the quorum.
  • Results stay hidden from everyone until voting closes.
  • It closes automatically at the closing time, or early with Close now. Cancel vote stops it without a result.

Results and protocol

After closing, the vote shows each option's weight, abstentions and whether the quorum was met. Open the Protocol for a printable record of the procedure, results, each unit's ballot (or "Secret") and signature lines.
