SUBJECT: NFPA 326 Second Draft TC Final Ballot Results (F2014) ____________________________________________________________________________ According to the final ballot results, all ballot items received the necessary affirmative votes to pass

ballot.

14 Members Eligible to Vote 3 Ballots Not Returned (T. Riddle, J. Rizzo and T. Smith) 11 Members Voted Affirmative (without comment) 0 Members Voted Negative 0 Members Abstained The attached report shows the number of affirmative, negative, and abstaining votes as well as the explanation of the vote for each second revision.

There are two criteria necessary for each second revision to pass ballot: (1) simple majority and (2)

affirmative 2/3 vote. The mock examples below show how the calculations are determined.

(1) Example for Simple Majority: Assuming there are 20 vote eligible committee members, 11 affirmative votes are required to pass ballot. (Sample calculation: 20 members eligible to vote ÷ 2 = 10 + 1 = 11)

(2) Example for Affirmative 2/3: Assuming there are 20 vote eligible committee members and 1

member did not return their ballot and 2 members abstained, the number of affirmative votes required would be 12. (Sample calculation: 20 members eligble to vote – 1 not returned – 2 abstentions = 17 x 0.66 = 11.22 = 12 ) As always please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
