Quorum Rules:
- Most conferences set quorum at one-third or a simple majority (50% + 1) of all registered delegations.
- If quorum is not met (e.g., first thing in the morning), the Chair must suspend the meeting until enough delegates arrive.
- Quorum affects voting; if delegates leave the room during an unmod and the room drops below quorum, no procedural motions can be voted on.
The Digital Advantage:
Tracking late arrivals and early departures manually on a clipboard is tedious. A centralized digital dais like MUN-Key.com allows Chairs to instantly update attendance statuses with a single click. The system tracks the live quorum percentage, alerting the Chair immediately if the room drops below the legal threshold to operate.
