Election: Pharaoh of the Osiris Fraternal Order

Post by **Severisen Montresor** » Mon Apr 11, 2016 1:03 am

This is the official election thread. All ballots are to be cast in this thread.

Persuant to:

Elections Administration Act: Section 2 ~ Articles 3-7 wrote:Section 2: Election Procedure

3. In any election, members of the Deshret must rank all eligible candidates and the option to reopen candidacy submission from most to least preferred on their ballot, or may vote abstain/present.

4. The option to reopen candidacy submission will be included in all elections. Should the reopening of candidacy submission receive majority support, the election period will be restarted.

5. The candidate elected to office in any election will be the candidate who receives majority support in the election. If no candidate receives majority support on the first count, instant run-off voting will be conducted.

6. Instant run-off voting will be conducted by eliminating the choice ranked first on the fewest ballots, and transferring the vote(s) of any member(s) who ranked this choice first to their next preferred choice, as indicated by their ballot. This process will be repeated until a candidate or the option to reopen candidacy submission receives majority support.

7. Votes of abstain/present in any election will count only toward participation in the vote for the purpose of retaining membership in the Deshret, and will not count for or against majority support needed to be elected to office or to reopen candidacy submission. Members may vote abstain/present only as a substitute for casting a ballot, and may not substitute abstain/present for ranking each choice on their ballot.

Candidates are listed in the order they stood for election. Eligible candidates for this election are:

Zaolat
Cormac
The Almighty Jesus Whale
Joshua Bluteisen
Re-Open Nominations (RON)

For clarity's sake, a valid ballot must include all candidates, as well as RON, ranked in order of preference from greatest to least. A candidate must gain majority support to be elected Pharaoh. IRV will be used to determine which candidate receives majority support in the event no candidate garners such support as a primary preference. Any incomplete ballots at the close of the election period will be discarded entirely. This election thread will remain open for 72 hours. In the event that I am unable to lock the thread the 72 hour mark, any votes edited or cast after that point will be discarded. I will make every attempt to contact voters who have cast ineligible ballots to correct them prior to the closing of the thread.
