This isn't something new, Bitcoin went through this in 2017 (relevant keywords: UASF, segwit, BCH).
You don't need a miner majority to do fork the chain, both versions (with and without fork) will exist and whichever is most valued by users/the market tends to "win" and bring miners back in because they like money.
Unlike your voting on a bill analogy, the reality of blockchains is that both universes can co-exist.
