All directive changes proposed in the proper way shall be voted on. They will be adopted if and only if they receive the required number of votes.

Every employee is an eligible voter.

All proposed directive-changes shall be posted before they are voted on. If they are adopted, they shall guide operations in the form in which they were voted on.

No directive-change may take effect earlier than the moment of the completion of the vote that adopted it, even if its wording explicitly states otherwise. No directive-change may have retroactive application. Despite EG's contribution to science, time travel still is not possible.

Directive-changes that transmute immutable directives into mutable directives may be adopted if and only if the vote is unanimous among the eligible voters. Transmutation shall not be implied, but must be stated explicitly in a proposal to take effect.

If a directive-change as proposed is unclear, ambiguous, paradoxical, or destructive of operations, or if it arguably consists of two or more directive-changes compounded or is an amendment that makes no difference, or if it is otherwise of questionable value, then the other employees may suggest amendments or argue against the proposal before the vote. A reasonable time must be allowed for this debate. The proponent decides the final form in which the proposal is to be voted on and, unless the Arbiter has been asked to do so, also decides the time to end debate and vote.

Each employee always has exactly one vote.
