VOTE INFORMATION:
- ***Note, VOTE will be sent to the attendees of LACRALO GA, not the entire membership (as you know some members did not attend personally or remotely).
- Note that the LACRALO rules required weighted votes (country co-efficient ) for all votes.
- Quorum for virtual voting: All virtual votes require a quorum of at least 50% of active ALS.
- The quorum is calculated by dividing the number of validity cast votes, including abstentions if there are any, by the number of ALS active in the region.
Note, staff will take the number of ALS GA 2023 attendees not the entire membership to calculate quorum.

Reference : LACRALO Rules of Procedure - Reglas de Procedimiento de LACRALO
According to Section 17 of LACRALO Rules of Procedure : All voting is subject to the principle of country-weighted voting (see Title VI).
Title VI, Section VI, 22 defines the weighted vote.
LACRALO adopts the Weighted Voting Principle by applying a vote percentage obtained from a mathematical formula where the number of countries is divided by 100. This is the Maximum Percentage allocated to each country. The sum of all ALSes in a country shall never exceed this Maximum Percentage.
LACRALO Rules of Procedure This Maximum Percentage shall be the denominator number by which all the ALSes in a country are divided, which shall result in the “incidence weight” that the ALS will have at the time of voting. The ALS of Individual Users shall be considered in this mathematical formula.
Section 13: requires ….."In case of a virtual vote, voting shall be carried out in a manner that ensures transparency throughout the whole election process. Specifically:
ICANN staff will share before each election the spreadsheet that calculates weighted voting. The list of ALS that voted will be made public.
There will always be an option to vote anonymous"
Section 16 Calculations of majorities: A plurality of the validity cast weighted votes determines the winner. A plurality is when a candidate or proposition gets more weighted votes than any other. Abstentions will not count in the calculation of the plurality. However, the LACRALO Secretary will report the number of abstentions when reporting the election results.
