Northeast Voting Booth: October 2015 Elections

[cinyc]

This voting booth is now closed.  I will post the two absentee ballots cast in my office thread for the record, and then lock the thread until I calculate the results.  Unfortunately, that likely will not happen until tomorrow evening.

Peeperkorn - here is your absentee ballot.  Obviously, it only includes candidates who have declared to this point.  Candidates may still declare or drop out until Wednesday, but I can't predict the future.  As of right now, there will be 5 Representatives in the next Assembly, but that could change, too.

Please vote by a response in this thread:

Absentee Ballot

This absentee ballot is for Governor, 5 Northeast Representatives and 2 Constitutional Amendments.

Votes for offices in this region are cast using PR-STV.  Voters who wish to preference more than one candidate should allocate a first preference for a candidate by marking a [1] in the space provided by that candidate's name, and proceeding to number as many preferences as they desire by marking a [2], [3], etc for as many candidates as they so desire.

A vote will be counted so long as the voter that casts it is eligible to vote in this election and casts a formal ballot. A vote is formal so long as it contains numbered preferences with no duplicate numbers. A ballot containing Roman Numerals is considered formal. A ballot in which candidates have been ranked a,b,c, etc is considered formal so long as no letter has been repeated, and so long as a single candidate has been ranked a, for as long as the letters are consecutive with no duplicate letters. A ballot is formal if the CJO can determine the intent of the voter without interviewing that voter.

Per past practice, write-in votes are only counted for a candidate if he or she publicly declares a willingness to receive write-in votes for the relevant office before the polls close in the Candidate Declaration Thread or writes in his or her own name on the ballot for the said office.
