Determining the franchise

Creating or modification of a procedure for expanding the franchise (granting votes to entities) is done by statuary act with a vote threshold of 2/3.

Creation or modification of a procedure for contracting the franchise (taking votes away from, or expelling, entities) can normally only be done by a modification to the bylaws. However, creation or modification of a procedure to strip votes from or expel entities as punishment for a crime, after the due process of a trial, can be done by statuary act with a vote threshold of 2/3.
