What is the correct number for "expected votes" in a 3-node cluster?

'pvecm status' shows 3 for my config (must be a default value), but I'm wondering if 2 would be correct...?

Code:
Version: 6.2.0
Config Version: 4
Cluster Name: indunet-cluster
Cluster Id: 10420
Cluster Member: Yes
Cluster Generation: 1224
Membership state: Cluster-Member
Nodes: 3
Expected votes: 3
Total votes: 3
Node votes: 1
Quorum: 2
Active subsystems: 1
Flags:
Ports Bound: 0
Node name: metal1
Node ID: 1
Multicast addresses: 239.192.40.220
Node addresses: 192.168.100.1
 
It expects 3 (one for each node), it got a total of 3, but as it states lower down you only need 2 for quorum so you're fine.
