Article 111 Constitutie van de Postunie van de Staten van het Amerikaanse Werelddeel, Spanje en Portugal

ORGANIZATION AND OPERATION OF UNION BODIES

1 Issues on which there is no general agreement will be put to a vote which, to be valid, shall require the presence or representation of two thirds of all member countries or territories entitled to vote.

2 Subject to the provisions of paragraph 1 above, member countries or territories entitled to vote shall mean those that vote “for” or “against”, and abstentions shall not be taken into account in determining the number of votes needed to form a majority, nor will blank ballots or invalid ballots in the case of voting by secret ballot.

3 If the number of abstentions and blank or invalid ballots exceeds half of the total votes cast (for, against and abstentions), the discussion of the matter shall be postponed to a subsequent meeting, at which abstentions, blank ballots and invalid ballots shall no longer be counted.

4 In case of a tie, the motion shall be deemed rejected.

5 In general, votes shall be cast by the raising of placards displaying the name of the member country or territory. However, roll call votes shall be taken at the request of any delegation or by decision of the Chairman, following the alphabetical order of the countries or territories, after drawing lots to determine the delegation to begin the voting.

6 Votes shall be taken by secret ballot at the request of any delegation, seconded by another delegation, in which case the Chairman shall take all necessary steps to ensure the secrecy of the vote. Motions for secret ballots made in accordance with this paragraph shall take precedence over motions for roll call votes.

7 Each member country or territory shall be entitled to cast a single vote, and may also vote on behalf of another member country or territory by proxy or delegation.
