To be granted exclusive representation over all bargaining unit members, the union must receive a simple majority of the votes cast. A simple majority is 50% plus one vote. Thus, 125/2 = 62.5, rounded up to the nearest whole number is 63, which is the minimum number of votes the union must receive to be granted exclusive representation.
