Italian term

voto plurimo

Italian to English Law/Patents Business/Commerce (general) Swiss company by-laws
I have found various translations for this, e.g. "share of voting right", "multiple vote" etc, but I do not know which one to use here. The company is Swiss,.

In caso di parità il Presidente ha voto plurimo; trattandosi di nomine sara tirata la sorte.
Proposed translations (English)
4 +2 casting vote
4 multiple voting right
Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

Non-PRO (2): Rachel Fell, Grace Anderson

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

Ellen is right that it means "multiple vote", but not in this context. It just means that he or she gets one extra vote in the event of a tie.
