> [@vaspholdings](#): > > Just to make sure I understand the quorum part correctly: does ZEC cast as **Abstain** count toward the **420,000 ZEC minimum** Yes, Abstain votes are votes so they count towards the 420,000 minimum. > [@vaspholdings](#): > > One related ballot-design question: did **unanswered** questions in Q3 default **to Abstain**? If so, an untouched question could still contribute a holder’s full voting power toward quorum. That seems worth looking at separately before Q4. No, a voter would have to explicitly select “Abstain”, it is not a default. > [@vaspholdings](#): > > If so, that settles **FPF’s current counting rule** before Q4, and it would be helpful to have that stated explicitly in the Q4 voting announcement. Yes we plan to make all of this very clear in the Q4 voting announcement.
