Paragraph 28
 

Article 18(1) defines the quorum for decisions in the CEC (half of its members) and (2) the requirements for a valid decision. Article 32(2) defines similar conditions for the decision-making in councils and bureaus at other levels. The requirement for a valid decision is that more than half of its members (five out of nine) vote in favour, regardless how many are present and voting. In certain situations, this requirement may be impractical and lead to delays. The intention, however, is to ensure that there is as much consensus within the commission as possible, which is positive.
