 The vote is announced on the mailing list in a separate thread by sending an email with the subject **[VOTE]**. It should reference the RFCs being voted on and if there are different options discussed, explain these options. It should also contain the URL of the page where the vote is taking place.
-The voting has minimal period of 1 week, which can be extended when circumstances warrant it.
+Votes should be open for two weeks at minimum, at the authors discretion this may be extended, for example during holiday periods.
+A valid voting period must be declared when voting is started and must not be changed during the vote.
 ===== Required Majority =====
+**Note:** This section has been amended by the [[rfc:abolish-narrow-margins|Abolish Narrow Margins RFC]].
 The primary vote of an RFC, determining overall acceptance of the proposal, may only have two voting options and requires a 2/3 majority. This means that the number of Yes votes must be greater than or equal to the number of No votes multiplied by two.
