I know I don't get a vote here, but this looks like gerrymandering
at its worst.  I believe the majority and the quorum have to be based
on the number of members in the electorate.  So you have two choices:

Electorate: 428 Majority: 215   Quorum: 143
        or
Electorate: 377 Majority: 189   Quoram: 126

Saying that there are 428 members of the electorate, but only 189
votes are needed to revise the constitution just doesn't pass the
smell test.
