A two-thirds majority means that 2/3 of a voting body is required to agree to something. A simple majority means that one vote more than 1/2 is required. For example, in the U.S. Senate, a 2/3 majority is 67 out of 100 senators, and a simple majority is 51 out of 100. In the case of a tie vote of 50 yes votes and 50 no votes, the Vice President, who is president of the Senate, casts a vote to break the tie.

What is Absolute majority in lok sabha?

Absolute majority is the condition when the bill / resolution is supported by 50% of the total seats of the house.For example:There are 545 seats in Lok Sabha. If a resolution is passed with the support of 273 members (50% of total seats), it is said to be passed by absolute majority.Imp point - Absolute majority should not be confused with simple majority. In simple majority we require the support of 50% of the members present and voting. Whereas in absolute majority, we require the support of 50% of the total seats in the house (no matter how many members are present and voting).Regards,Amit Chauhanamit_r143@yahoo.co.in
