  The expression "at least 50% +1" may mislead when "majority" is actually intended, where the total number referred to is odd.: 4 For example, say a board has 7 members. "Majority" means "at least 4" in this case (more than half of 7, which is 3.5). But 50% + 1 is 4.5, and since a number of people can only be a positive integer, "at least 50% + 1" could be interpreted as meaning "at least 5".
