NE Assembly Special Election III and Referendum - January 2016

[cinyc]

This voting booth does not open until 12:00AM Eastern Standard Time on Friday, January 22, 2016.  Any vote cast in this thread before that time will be invalid.

This voting booth is for one Northeast Representative and one referendum to amend the Northeast Constitution.

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.

For the referendum, you may only select one of the two options (Aye or Nay).

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.

This voting booth does not open until 12:00 AM Eastern Standard Time on Friday, January 22, 2016, and ends at 11:59:59PM EST on Sunday, January 24, 2016.  Any vote cast in this thread outside of those parameters will be invalid.

The voting booth is now closed and locked.  I still have to validate the votes, but since nobody declared themselves a candidate in the Candidate Declaration Thread or wrote themselves in, it looks like nobody won the Assembly race.  I guess we'll have to hold another special election next week.

Total voters: 10
Invalid votes:
None

Total Valid Voters: 10

Northeast Representative
Quota = integer[10/(1+1) + 1] = integer[5 + 1] = 6

Nobody wrote themselves in or declared in the official declaration thread.  Votes for all other persons or protests will not be counted and preferences ignored.  Since there were no candidates for Assembly on the ballot and nobody wrote themselves in or declared, nobody wins.  The seat remains vacant.  A special election will be held this weekend to fill the vacancy.
