Final answer:
There are four main voting methods in a quorum: majority voting, plurality voting, supermajority voting, and caucus-style voting. Each requires a different threshold of votes to pass a proposal, with a majority or specific higher percentage needed.
Step-by-step explanation:
The question is asking about the different voting methods used when a quorum is present. A quorum is the minimum number of members needed to be present for a meeting to be considered valid. The main voting methods include majority voting, plurality voting, supermajority voting, and caucus-style voting. Majority voting requires more than 50% of the votes cast for a proposal to win. Plurality voting means the proposal with the most votes wins, regardless of whether it is the majority. Supermajority voting requires a higher threshold, such as 60%, two-thirds, or even three-quarters of the votes to pass a proposal. A caucus is a local party meeting where votes are conducted by raising hands or dividing into groups.
To hold a vote, each chamber needs a majority present, although not all need to vote. Even in the smaller number, members may adjourn or be compelled to attend under specific penalties.
