26. Voting at meetings

Each member of the Agency has one vote.

In addition to his or her general vote, the person presiding at a meeting has, in the case of an equality of votes at the meeting, a casting vote.

A resolution of the Agency is passed if it is agreed to by all members present without dissent, or if a majority of the members who are entitled to vote on the matter cast votes in favour of it.

A member present at a meeting of the Agency is presumed to have agreed to, and to have voted in favour of, a resolution of the Agency unless he or she expressly dissents from or votes against the resolution at the meeting or is prevented from voting by section 26 of the Public Sector (Governance) Act 2018.
