Rule 155
Rule 155 in the Book of Constitutions lays down that the majority of a lodge shall regulate its own proceedings, provided those proceedings remain consistent with the general laws and regulations of the Craft, as the United Grand Lodge of England sets out.
The rule also establishes that the members of a lodge or chapter have the power to insist that any particular issue be decided by ballot if a majority of those present indicate by a show of hands that it should be, as the United Grand Lodge of England notes.
