Quorum

For a members' meeting the statutory minimum is ten percent of members for a cooperative with 500 or fewer members, or 50 members for one with more than 500 § 308B.525, subd. 1 ^P1. Articles or bylaws adopted by the members may require a greater quorum, not a lower one § 308B.535, subd. 3 ^P1. Only members may adopt or amend a bylaw fixing a greater member quorum; an amendment changing greater quorum or voting requirements must satisfy the existing or proposed quorum and voting requirements, whichever are greater § 308B.241, subd. 5; § 308B.535, subd. 3 ^P1.

On a question submitted by mail or an alternative voting method, members represented by that method count toward quorum; action taken at a meeting without a quorum is invalid § 308B.525, subds. 2 and 3 ^P1. For the board, a quorum is a majority of directors currently holding office unless the articles or bylaws provide a larger or smaller portion or number § 308B.431 ^P1.
