Ordinary Resolution

An ordinary resolution is a vote that requires a simple majority (50%+) in favour of the vote for it to succeed.

This usually happens when members vote at a general meeting. A simple majority of the voting members present must vote in favour of the motion for it to succeed. In addition, an ordinary resolution may be passed if agreed to in writing by 2/3 of the total voting members in the non-profit.

Most non-profit business that requires voting at a general meeting will be done through an ordinary resolution.
