Tally Summary The Tally Summary lists the current ballot tally, ignoring any Abstain, No Returns and Removed values as these are not relevant to the final ballot outcome. Withdraws count as Affirmatives, although they are split out to illustrate how the ballot has fared after the ballot close.
Needed for Passage Needed for Passage displays the 'raw' number of votes a ballot needs to pass. If the total number of Affirmatives and Withdraws do not exceed this number, it will display in red. If the total number of Affirmatives and Withdraws do exceed this number, it will display in green. A green number does not necessarily mean that a ballot has passed, but it does mean that a WG should review the ballot and determine whether the actual status of the ballot.
