This is a FBI report explaining the chain of command in LCN.
Note that no boss of bosses is mentioned and it also states "The Commissione is the ultimate and final authority in this organisation."

There are multiple reports that can be found on the MFF site saying the same. I honestly can go on and on.

As of the votes on the Commission. They all counted the same. No matter how powerful a boss was or how many soldiers he had under his command, his vote still counted the same. Check out Bill Bonanno´s last book. He goes into great detail of the functions, protocol and the proceedings of the Commission. Extremely interesting. If you are interested, pick up the book.
