Article 11 

VOTING AT GENERAL ASSEMBLIES

 

Clubs, Associations and Federations having competence in sporting as well as Automobile Mobility and Tourism matters (Article 3.1) shall have 2 votes each, but shall exercise only 1 vote each in respect of any election or other decision relating exclusively to motor sport and 1 vote each in respect of any election or decision relating exclusively to Automobile Mobility and Tourism.
 
Clubs, Associations and Federations which are not holders of the sporting power (Article 3.2) shall have 1 vote each which shall not be exercised in any election or decision relating exclusively to motor sport. If one country happens to be represented by more than one Club, Association or Federation concerned with Automobile Mobility and Tourism, each of these will have a vote to cast during the General Assembly on questions relating exclusively to Automobile Mobility and Tourism. On matters not relating exclusively to Automobile Mobility and Tourism, these will have to agree on the vote to be returned. Should they fail to agree or reach a majority decision, a blank vote will be cast.
 
Clubs, Associations and Federations of exclusively sporting competence (Article 3.3) shall have 1 vote each which shall not be exercised in any election or decision relating exclusively to Automobile Mobility and Tourism.
 
The decisions of the General Assemblies, both ordinary and extraordinary, shall be taken by an absolute majority apart from the exceptions provided for in these Statutes. In the event of equality, the President shall have the casting vote.
 
An absolute majority is made up of at least half plus one of the votes which could be cast at the General Assembly in accordance with these Statutes by the members present or validly represented.
 
A simple majority in the cases provided for in these Statutes is obtained when, in the same conditions, the number of votes cast in favour is greater than the number of votes cast against.
 
Votes on items added to the Agenda shall only be valid if at least half the Members are represented at the session.
 
The number of votes cast in each election shall be announced at the meeting and published in the minutes.


For the General Assembly, the quorum shall be set at one third of the FIA Member countries entitled to vote.
