| Beschlüsse und Wahlen (?) + werden gefasst resolutions and election ballots will be carried (ratified) Explanation: Ratify and carry are two verbs that can feasibyly double for both resolutions and elections (appointment of the Board of Directors to office vs. co-option of members to the Board) as opposed to general company ballots. Strictly, political etc. elections are 'won'- Also the preposition ought arguably to be adopted, carried or passed by - and not with a majority - of the votes cast. Example sentence(s):
