Only ESCo members can initiate a vote; votes that are requested by other bodies (e.g. an incubating working group that is requesting ratification) are initiated by an ESCo member (typically the ESCo Secretary on ) on behalf of that body.
Any ESCo member may respond to a vote, however only responses from the ESCo Project Leads initially count, unless there is a tied vote (as per bylaws §6.2c). In the event of a tie, and assuming there are at least 10 seated ESCo leads and advisors (as per bylaws §6.2c), a re-vote occurs where ESCo Advisor votes are also counted. Re-votes always take place via email.
