Amendment requires what kind of vote?

• A. Unanimous vote
• B. Majority vote
• C. Two-thirds vote
• D. No vote required

Answer: (B)

The idea being tested is what vote threshold governs passing an amendment. In this context, an amendment passes with a majority vote—more than half of the votes cast in the decision when members participate.

This means any amendment only needs the support of more than half of those voting. If most of the body votes, a simple majority shows clear preference for the change. If there are abstentions, they don’t count toward the tally, so you still need more than half of the votes actually cast.

Why this works well: it provides a straightforward rule that allows governance to move forward without requiring everyone to agree or raising the bar to an almost-unanimous level. It’s practical for routine updates while still ensuring the change has substantial support.

Unanimous approval would demand every voter to agree, which is rarely practical. No vote required isn’t logical for making changes, and requiring two-thirds would be a higher standard than a simple majority, so it’s not the threshold described here.
