The established "majority" based on municipal, state/provincial or federal law. This will vary by region. For example: a proposal on same sex marriage in one state may require 60% majority to pass, whereas in other states, proposals of this type will require 65% or higher.

How many votes does a bill need to pass a floor vote?

In the U.S. Senate, 51 votes are needed to pass a bill on the floor. A bill can also pass on a tie vote (50 - 50 or otherwise), as the Vice President will then cast a vote to break the tie. A bill cannot even reach the floor for a vote, however, if it is the subject of a filibuster unless there are 60 votes for cloture (which will allow a floor vote on the bill). In the U.S. House, 218 votes are needed to pass a bill on the floor.
