quorum
Result of voting in the hundredth Senate of the Republic of Poland: a quorum was reached (over fifty votes)
quorum - which [presence is sufficient]) - the minimum number of members of the assembly (parliament, association, trade union) necessary to conduct the meeting or take binding decisions, eg on elections , adopt a resolution.
For example, passing a law by the Sejm of the Republic of Poland requires the presence of at least half of the statutory number of Members; There are 230 members of the quorum. In the case of the Sejm commissions, the quorum is 1/3 of the composition.
There are also relatively low quorum requirements. The British House of Lords, which currently has about 750 members, can debate in the presence of just 3 members, including the chairman of the panel. The quorum is 30 votes (the British parliamentary procedure does not provide for abstentions).
