More precisely: Gleichheit der Zahl der für zwei oder mehr zur Wahl stehenden Alternativen, die in dieser Wahl eine (identische) Stimmenzahl haben bekommen die höher als die Stimmenzahl von jede andere Alternative ist, abgegebenen Stimmen. Equality of the number of votes cast for two or more alternatives that have gotten a(n) (identical) number of votes in this election that is higher than the number of votes for any other alternative. This leaves completely open and unspecified what happens when: - A0 has 3 votes - A1 has 2 votes - A2 has 2 vote (or A2 has 1 vote and A3 has 1 vote) We don't have "einfache Mehrheit", but we also don't have "Stimmengleichheit", so - A0 is not passed - certainly none of A1, A2 or A3 should pass! - the "deciding vote" sentence doesn't come into application So... we have no decision? I wonder if the intention of the Statutes was not plurality (one of the possible meanings of "simple majority" in English, according to Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simple_majority) rather than "einfache Mehrheit", and it is just a bug in translation / drafting. This would make more sense, and would make the Statutes more coherent. -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: [email protected] Problems? https://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: https://listarchives.documentfoundation.org/www/board-discuss/ Privacy Policy: https://www.documentfoundation.org/privacy
