The right to voting is vested in the Full Members only. Unless otherwise stipulated in the Statutes, the decisions of the General Assembly are taken by a simple majority of votes of the Full Members present. In the event of a Full Member delegate being unable to attend the General Assembly, the delegate's vote can be cast by proxy. In the event of there not being a quorum of at least one half of the Full Members, the meeting is empowered to suspend standing issues in order that business may proceed, decisions taken being subject to ratification by the General Assembly. If there is a tied vote the President has a casting vote.
Voting is to be by show of hands, unless the majority requests a secret ballot.
In certain circumstances the General Assembly may reach its decision by correspondence. The President is elected for a maximum of one term, and the other Officers for a maximum of two consecutive terms. The Executive determines the functions of the Officers itself. If the President is unable to act, the President Elect acts on his behalf. The Executive formulates Rules of Procedure subject to the approval of the General Assembly.
