Abstract
Suppose shareholders vote on the status quo against a single alternative. Simple majority wins, ties are broken in favor of the status quo, and participation is slightly costly. Then, a pure-strategy equilibrium exists if and only if there is a shareholder who supports the alternative and commands more votes than any one of the supporters of the status quo.
