Legislators,

A proposal has been introduced to amend Article 2, Section 4 of the Legislative Procedure Act.

The debate thread can be found here.

A motion and a second have been received to bring this amendment to a vote.

As this is a constitutional law amendment, the voting period is five days and will require a three-fifths supermajority of those voting in favour to pass, with the exception of abstentions. The vote will end on the 17^th of March, 2019, at 02:04 a.m. (UTC). 

Please vote by poll if possible. If you cannot vote by poll, post 'Aye', 'Nay' or 'Abstain' in this thread. Please do not vote both by poll and by post. Comments and discussion belong in the debate thread and may be moved there.

LEGISLATION FAILED

 

17 MARCH 2019

 

(A1903.02)

 

Legislators,

Please be advised that the vote to amend Article 2 of the Legislative Procedure Act has failed.

The final tally is 14 in favour, 19 in opposition, with 7 abstaining, for a total of 40 votes.

The vote was not passed with 42% voting in favour, therefore not exceeding the requirement for a three-fifths supermajority of those voting with the exclusion of abstentions.

A spreadsheet of the vote breakdown will be attached here soon.
