The form of the ballot defines what qualifies as a vote.
A majority is defined as being &gt; 50% of the votes cast.
I do not see how anybody could have guessed otherwise.
If the formulaters of the ballot wanted something else,
they should have written it differently, and explained
what the effect of an abstention would be.  That in
itself is another good reason for having a re-vote.
