  1. Title 59 Veterans-Military Affairs
  2. Chapter 5924 Code Of Military Justice

(A) No person may be convicted of any offense, except by the concurrence of two-thirds of the members of the court-martial present at the time the vote is taken.

(B) All other questions to be decided by the members of a general or special court-martial shall be determined by a majority vote, but a determination to reconsider a finding of guilty or to reconsider a sentence, to decrease or lessen it, may be made by any lesser vote that indicates that the reconsideration is not opposed by the number of votes required for that finding or sentence. A tie vote on a challenge disqualifies the member challenged. A tie vote on a motion for a finding of not guilty or on a motion relating to the question of the accused's sanity is a determination against the accused. A tie vote on any other question is a determination in favor of the accused.
