Actually I believe it's a quorum (1/3) that have to be present, but the 
vote must be a majority vote (~50%) of that quorum.
Since the election happens electronically, the "quorum" is really 
everybody (since everybody can equally access poll.os.o), so there needs 
to be at least 50% turnout for the vote to count.

cheers,
