Hello Manoj,
the new draft looks good to me. I only found some stylistic issues.

The term "vote in opposition to the winner" looks suboptimal to me.
Consider the case of many candidates. Maybe we could write something
along the lines of "... when the missing votes cannot change the result
anymore"?

I suggest quotes around "Further Discussion".

About the three places marked above: I think we should increase
stylistic consistency by just writing "quorum requirement Q",
and "option A" in place of the three variants above.
I hope this helps,
