Feature feedback request: Quorum and Vote Share Requirement
Robert Guthrie Sat 13 Jun 2026 12:01AMPublicSeen by 114In September 2025 we released support for setting a Quorum as well as the ability to say how many votes an option needed for a proposal to pass or fail (Vote Share Requirement).
Both features have (human written! Thank you @Zach Mandeville!) documentation available:

If you have used these features in your group, please share how it worked for you. I would love to know what your organization's rules are and if these features were right-shaped for the job.
If you have not used these before, maybe because you did not know they had been developed, well, please share your impressions :-)

@Scott Laugenour (he/him) Seattle Chapter, GPWA Deputy Treasurer & GPUS Observer - thank you for sharing. Super interesting to see.
If you want to apply a rule that "this proposal should have no Questions", you can set must not exceed 0% (rather than 1%).
Are these saved options and conditions all saved as a poll template so they're all ready to reuse when you need them?
By the way, did you know Loomio has a feature to accomodate your role info, so you don't need to add it to your user name field? Feel free to do what ever suits you, just wanted to point that out.

My organization has used both features. While most of our executive/administrative decisions are made at meetings with in-person attendance, we have a system for online consensus decisions that entail setting both an overall quorum requirement as well as a requirement that no more than 1% register a "concern."
Here's a screen shot showing how these settings are made. The features are fine for us and we welcomed discovering the new settings.
