UCO Delegate Assembly · Understanding the vote

How many “yes” votes
does it take?

First confirm the voting rule, eligible voters, quorum and denominator with UCO or counsel. The examples below show arithmetic using an expressly assumed attendance-based denominator.

Bylaw references to confirm before applying the examples

117

Delegates for a quorum

The posted 2020 bylaws identify 117 delegates present in person in Article V(F). Treat this as a source reference to verify with UCO, including later amendments, eligibility and the particular proceeding; the calculator does not determine legal quorum.

More than half

If the applicable rule uses everyone present

Articles V(F)(1) and V(H) are the starting references for reviewing the ordinary voting rule. The arithmetic below assumes more than half of all eligible delegates present, including abstainers. Ask UCO or counsel to verify that interpretation and denominator for the actual motion.

Consult Article V(G) and the applicable authorization provisions about delegates, replacement alternates, proxies and absentee voting. Have UCO confirm who may vote and how presence and recusals are handled. These references concern UCO’s Assembly, not your condominium association’s voting procedures.

Hypothetical vote calculator

Assumption—not a ruling on UCO’s voting rules

This calculator assumes that the denominator is all eligible delegates present when the vote is taken, including those who abstain. It calculates either more than half or at least two-thirds of that assumed number. It does not select the legally correct denominator, decide voter eligibility, establish a quorum, or determine whether a motion passes or fails.

Before applying a result to an actual motion, ask UCO or counsel to verify the current bylaw interpretation, applicable threshold, treatment of abstentions and recusals, and required procedures. The reference figure of 117 is not a quorum determination for a particular meeting.

Assumed number of eligible delegates present (including abstainers)

Enter a hypothetical denominator from 1 to 349. This display range reflects the published structure used in the examples; it does not verify the current number of eligible delegates. Count replacement alternates only as UCO’s confirmed rules permit.

Under the stated assumption, more than half = the assumed denominator divided by two, rounded down, plus one. At least two-thirds = two-thirds of that denominator, rounded up. See the hypothetical tables below.

Arithmetic only. A result does not establish the governing rule, proper notice, quorum, eligibility, procedural validity, or the legal outcome of a vote.

How the arithmetic works

More than half of the assumed denominator

Round down (assumed denominator ÷ 2), then add 1.

If all 150 present are the denominator, more than half is 76. If the assumed denominator is 151, more than half is also 76. These are arithmetic thresholds, not conclusions about a particular motion.

Exactly half does not meet a more-than-half arithmetic threshold. With an assumed denominator of 150, 75 affirmative votes fall below 76; confirm the actual rule before announcing an outcome.

At least two-thirds

Multiply assumed denominator × 2 ÷ 3, then round up.

For an assumed denominator of 150, at least two-thirds is 100. For 151, 100⅔ rounds up to 101.

Consult Article XII(C)(2) for bylaw amendments. Ask UCO or counsel to confirm the applicable denominator, threshold and amendment procedures before using this column for an actual proposal.

Hypothetical arithmetic table

Each row assumes the first column is the complete denominator, including abstainers. No row establishes that a quorum exists or that either threshold governs a particular motion. The range starts at the 117 reference figure in the posted bylaws for illustration only.

How abstentions affect these hypothetical examples

Article IV(E) addresses recording abstentions. If the applicable rule uses all eligible delegates present as the denominator, including abstainers, an abstention does not reduce that assumed denominator. It does not add an affirmative vote. This conditional explanation does not decide which denominator UCO’s current bylaws require for a particular motion; ask UCO or counsel to confirm that interpretation first.

Hypothetical example: the denominator is assumed to be 150

70 yes + 50 no + 30 abstentions = 150. Under the stated all-present assumption, 70 affirmative votes are below the arithmetic threshold of 76. Comparing only yes and no votes would use a different denominator. This example does not determine that an actual UCO motion failed.

76 yes + 44 no + 30 abstentions = 150. Under the same assumption, 76 affirmative votes meet the more-than-half arithmetic threshold. That calculation alone does not establish that an actual motion passed.

These are hypothetical arithmetic illustrations, not an official interpretation of UCO’s bylaws. Obtain confirmation of the governing rule, eligibility, presence, abstentions, recusals and disputed counts before describing an actual motion as passed or failed.

Confirm the count and denominator for the actual vote

If the verified rule uses all eligible delegates present, an assumed denominator of 180 gives a more-than-half threshold of 91; a denominator of 150 gives 76. Whether and how departures, recusals or eligibility affect the actual denominator must be confirmed under the governing rules. Registration alone does not settle those questions.

The posted bylaws refer to 117 in the quorum provision and include other provisions in Articles V(F)(2) and VII(C) addressing action when an Assembly quorum is absent. Ask UCO or counsel to confirm the effect and limits of those provisions for the specific action. The calculator neither authorizes business below that reference count nor establishes that business above it is valid.

Not every vote uses the ordinary rule.

Bylaw amendments, removal of officers or Executive Board members, and elections may involve different thresholds, denominators and procedures. Consult the relevant provisions, including Articles XII(C)(2) and VIII(J), and obtain confirmation of the applicable rule before announcing a threshold.

The calculator’s two-thirds column is not an election-winner formula and does not substitute for special notice, petition, hearing, or other required steps.

A practical voting checklist

Identify the exact motion; ask UCO or counsel to confirm the governing threshold and denominator.
Confirm authorized delegates and properly seated alternates.
Verify the number present and that a quorum exists.
Announce how many affirmative votes are required.
Count and record yes votes, no votes, and abstentions.
Compare affirmative votes with the correct threshold and announce the result.
Report the decision and its implications to association owners.

This checklist is Board Synergy’s recommended practice, not a claim that the bylaws prescribe this exact script. Delegates also exercise their own good-faith duties when representing owners.
