What is the difference between total membership and members present and voting in each House of Parliament regarding constitutional amendments?
The difference between total membership and members present and voting in each House of Parliament regarding constitutional amendments is that an amendment Bill must be passed by a majority of the total membership of that House, as well as by a majority of not less than two-thirds of the members of that House present and voting. This ensures that the amendment has significant support from both the overall membership of the House and those members who actively participate in the vote.
