Which threshold is required for a special resolution to be passed?

• A. 60% of the voting members
• B. 75% of members
• C. 90% of the voting members
• D. Unanimous consent

Answer: (B)

A special resolution requires a higher level of agreement than an ordinary resolution. In most cases, it must be approved by not less than 75% of the votes cast by those entitled to vote. This substantial threshold ensures that major changes have broad support and reflect a strong consensus among members.

So, the 75% threshold aligns with this higher level of required approval. The other figures are not the standard standard: 60% is not enough for a major decision, 90% is stricter than typical but not the usual rule, and unanimous consent (100%) is rarely required in practice.
