Cardano's Update Constitutional Committee 2026 action cleared both approval thresholds in a synchronized pre-boundary snapshot on Sept. 1, although formal ratification and enactment had not yet occurred. DRep support stood at 69.36%, above the 67% requirement, while SPO support was 51.18%, just 0.18 percentage points above the 51% threshold. The action remained pending in epoch 652, with a decision due at the boundary into epoch 653 at about 21:44 UTC. If ratified, enactment was scheduled for the start of epoch 654 on Sept. 6, when four existing committee seats were due to lapse. Without renewal, the committee would have fallen to three active members, below the minimum of five, blocking committee approval for treasury withdrawals, protocol parameter changes, hard-fork initiations and constitution updates. Cardano's voting rules count stake behind pools that do not cast ballots against the effective SPO threshold, while explicit abstentions are excluded. The snapshot showed about 5.316 billion ADA on the No or default-No side, compared with roughly 2.008 million ADA in explicit SPO No votes. Intersect warned that a failed renewal could disrupt governance continuity and affect progress toward Dijkstra, although any timeline impact remained a risk rather than a confirmed delay.
