Rules for voting are a little different for code changes.

The required Apache voting process is here:  
https://www.apache.org/foundation/voting.html

For code changes, that document says:  "Votes on code modifications follow 
consensus 
approval<https://www.apache.org/foundation/glossary.html#ConsensusApproval>. In 
this scenario, a negative vote constitutes a 
veto<https://www.apache.org/foundation/voting.html#Veto>, which the voting 
group (generally the PMC of a project) cannot override. Again, this model may 
be modified by a lazy 
consensus<https://www.apache.org/foundation/voting.html#LazyConsensus> 
declaration when the request for a vote is raised, but the full-stop nature of 
a negative vote does not change. Under normal (non-lazy consensus) conditions, 
the proposal requires three +1 votes and no -1 votes in order to pass; if it 
fails to garner the requisite amount of support, it doesn't. Then the proposer 
either withdraws the proposal or modifies the code and resubmits it, or the 
proposal simply languishes as an open issue until someone gets around to 
removing it."
And "For code-modification votes, +1 votes are in favour of the proposal, but 
-1 votes are vetos<https://www.apache.org/foundation/voting.html#Veto> and kill 
the proposal dead until all vetoers withdraw their -1 votes.
Unless the proposer declares that the vote is using lazy 
consensus<https://www.apache.org/foundation/voting.html#LazyConsensus>, three 
+1 votes are required for a code-modification proposal to pass."
