Civilization – the minimum required for a Resolution to be passed

civilization-5civilization-5-brave-new-world

I've been wondering what the minimum number of votes required to pass a resolution. Is there a minimum number of votes? Is it a percent of all the votes? 51% Majority and 50% votes cast? How do abstaining and Nay's factor into a vote?

I want to understand how many votes I need to fully control the world congress if I add my votes and a friend.

There must be as least one more yay vote than there are nay votes for a resolution to pass. Abstaining from voting on a particular resolution has no effect on the outcome as you are not voting either way.

In order to know how many delegates to commit you must make an educated guess about the votes of your rivals. You can place a Spy as a Diplomat in a rival's capital to see their upcoming votes.
