Talk:2021 Barbadian presidential election

Vote
Hello As can be read on Barbados today, senator Caswell Franklyn objected, which cancelled the "election without a vote" in the joint parliament, and immediately prompted the separate actual votes in both chambers, that's here, during the election in the Senate, that he was able to voice his objection, and it's here that a vote with ballot that lacked a "no" choice was held, as well as in the assembly. By the way, the constitution doesn't require the president to be elected by a two third majority of all members, only of the voting ones. Thus, the percentages are of votes, not of all members. The only pages in which we use percentages of all registered voters is when the electoral law require a majority of them. --Aréat (talk) 18:02, 24 October 2021 (UTC)

The constitution does show there wouldn't have been a vote even if he hadn't made an objection. The ballot he's talking of is of the later separate votes in both chambers. "If the Prime Minister and the Leader of the Opposition make in writing to the Speaker a joint nomination of a qualified candidate for election as President, being a  nomination  to  which  that  candidate  has  consented,  the  Speaker  shall notify both Houses of the joint nomination and, at a joint meeting of both Houses, the Speaker shall ask the members whether any member has an objection to the candidate  being  declared  duly  elected  and  if  no  member  objects  thereto, the Speaker shall declare the candidate duly elected."
