Simple (general) Majority

  • This refers to a majority of more than 50% of the members present and voting in the House.
  • Also known as Functional or Working majority.
  • This is the most commonly used type of majority.
  • When the law does not specify the kind of majority needed, a simple majority is used for passing bills or motions.
  • Ordinary bills require only a simple majority.
  • For example, in the Lok Sabha, out of the total strength of 545, suppose 45 were absent and 100 abstained from voting. This means, only 400 members were present and voting. In this case, the simple majority needed is 201 (50% + 1).
  • Instances where a simple majority is needed:
    • To pass money bill/financial/ordinary bills
    • To pass Adjournment Motion/Non-Confidence Motion/Censure Motion/Confidence Motion (Read about Parliamentary Proceedings’ Devices.)
    • To declare a financial emergency
    • To declare President’s Rule (state emergency)
    • To elect the Speaker and Deputy Speaker of the Lok Sabha
    • Constitution Amendment Bill under Article 368 which needs to be ratified by the states needs only a simple majority at the State Legislatures.
