The question is, does this generally mean one vote per (full member)

final say in decision-making, but I can't find reference to how other
groups have handled this issue of just how this final voting thing

Here at Two Acre Wood, we give two votes per household.  Thus, single owners
get two votes and couples can vote independently.  I don't recall that we've
ever had to use this system however.  But it does come in handy for straw
polls.
