Small voting primer

Democracy thrives on voting, both large and small, in the federal assembly and local assemblies, in school boards, in administrative councils, and in associations. Good voting is part of the legal culture of democracy. Voting is a legal action that should be conducted properly, objectively, and fairly. As with all legal actions, precision is essential in voting. This book aims to assist with that. It addresses all questions related to voting: verification of voting rights, submission of proposals, required majorities, open, secret, and named votes, consideration of abstentions, proposal majorities, determination of resolutions, and reconsideration. The guide is intended for anyone leading votes, whether in an association, a cooperative assembly, a condominium owners' meeting, or participating in a vote.
