Hello @Glide08: As can be read on Barbados today, senator Caswell Franklyn objected, which cancelled the "election without a vote" in the joint parliament, and immediately prompted the separate actual votes in both chambers, that's here, during the election in the Senate, that he was able to voice his objection, and it's here that a vote with ballot that lacked a "no" choice was held, as well as in the assembly. By the way, the constitution doesn't require the president to be elected by a two third majority of all members, only of the voting ones. Thus, the percentages are of votes, not of all members. The only pages in which we use percentages of all registered voters is when the electoral law require a majority of them. --Aréat (talk) 18:02, 24 October 2021 (UTC)Reply
The constitution does show there wouldn't have been a vote even if he hadn't made an objection. The ballot he's talking of is of the later separate votes in both chambers. "If the Prime Minister and the Leader of the Opposition make in writing to the Speaker a joint nomination of a qualified candidate for election as President, being a nomination to which that candidate has consented, the Speaker shall notify both Houses of the joint nomination and, at a joint meeting of both Houses, the Speaker shall ask the members whether any member has an objection to the candidate being declared duly elected and if no member objects thereto, the
Speaker shall declare the candidate duly elected." Article 14--Aréat (talk) 18:08, 24 October 2021 (UTC)Reply
