Minimum

Use this field to determine the minimum number of votes required for a certain choice to prevail. This minimum is expressed either as a number of votes or as a percentage of the total votes, depending on what voting rule you use.

To use this value, you must use one of these voting rules:

  • Conditional Plurality or Minimum Count indicates the minimum number of votes required for a choice to win.
  • Minimum Percentage indicates the minimum percentage of the total vote count required for a choice to win. The percentage is based on the total number of recipients of the prompt, not the number of return votes.
  • Minimum Count Preferred Choice indicates the minimum number of votes for a preferred choice that are required for that choice to win.
  • Minimum Percentage Preferred Choice indicates the minimum percentage of the total vote count for a preferred choice that are required for that choice to win.

To designate the numeric value using an expression, click the button to the left of this field.

The contents of this field must use this syntax:

numericExpr

where numericExpr is a number or an expression that resolves to a numeric value.

When you click OK to return to the Event Actions form, the system "wraps" this content within a MINIMUM( ) parameter, which yields this final syntax:

MINIMUM( numericExpr )
