During particular items on the agenda of the RTI AGM or RTI HYM, the RTI Councillors would need to vote on behalf of their respective Associations. Votes are anonymous and carried out with digital solutions.
Eligibility to Vote
Only full member Associations that are fully paid up at the start of the meeting may vote on behalf of their Associations.
Types of Votes
There are two types of votes that take place during RTI Council votes during AGMs and HYMs.
Simple Majority Vote: Each full member Association gets 1 vote each. If the positive result is 50%+1 of votes cast, it is approved.
Poll Vote: In a poll vote, each Association gets the same number of votes as the number of members it has. If the positive result is 50%+1 of votes cast, it is approved.
This solution strikes the best balance of representation per each association, and their respective number of members.
Votable Orders
Elections for RTI Board: A simple majority vote is required until a candidate recieves 50%+1 of the vote.
Future RTI Events: Future RTI World Meetings and RTI Half Year Meetings are voted for two years in advance by means of a simple majority vote.
Motions: A simple majority vote is required for the motion to be put to the floor. It is then approved or otherwise following a poll vote.
