Everyone in the National league votes (24votes)
Everyone in north and south votes but there votes equate to 4 votes each between leagues (8 votes)

It needs 17 yes votes to go through
Think the question being asked may be whether abstentions or failure to vote returns will be counted. It was either the EFL or the SPFL that treated these as essentially no votes.

There are 32 votes. If the outcome is that 15 vote for the motion, 12 vote against it and 5 dont vote or refuse to vote either way, would the proposal still be passed? I believe the answer is yes, based on a majority of the valid votes cast. Dont expect it to be that close - if and when it ever happens.

It's today isn't it?, why do you think it's not taking place?

Will we be given the vote numbers? If the motion includes 4 promoted from NLN and NLN, I'll go for 26 for, 4 against and 2 abstentions.

The vote is on Tuesday; ballot papers sent out (probably via pigeons) today

The voting deadline is Tuesday - teams can start voting as soon as they receive the papers

The speed of the postal service these days means it will take about mid July to collate all the votes

Serious question are we the only league in the whole of Europe that's still undecided one way or another? What a farce, one meeting after another, one vote after another, if this goes on longer than Tuesday I despair

People speculating about the post haven't you heard of a email?

Nope. I'm not believing, or saying anything until it's there in black and white.
For fans the champagne remains on ice. The club though, i think will have took a calculated risk based decision to start preparing for L2. There’ll be all sorts going on to prepare.

Anyone get the Non League paper today? It’s all kicking off in step 2 and the fight to have the play-offs starts.

NL board being challenged by clubs to fight the case for step two play-offs.

I fully expect another week of this.

Which is why they didn’t send the ballot out Friday and why it’s going out today

Dows anyone know the structure / numbers on the National League board. The National league site doesn't provide any details. I am curious to know who sits on it.

The whole thing is a [SwearFilter] shambles.. Dragging on and on and on.. There won't be any vote sent out today, by this time next week we will be on page 150 with still no resolution and nobody about to move on
