Compulsory campus-based fees may be established, eliminated, or modified in an election in which a two-thirds (66.6%) majority of a minimum voting pool of twenty percent (20%) of the overall affected student body officially registered at the time of the election vote to approve or to modify the fee. The imposition of a compulsory fee is subject to concurrence of the Chancellor and approval of the UC Regents.

Abstentions will not count toward the establishment of minimum voting pool requirements. The establishment of the minimum voting pool will be determined on an individual basis for each measure on the ballot (i.e. the sum of "yes" and "no" votes on each individual measure must equal or exceed the minimum voting pool required).
