Northeast Voting Booth: May Election (Includes Vote to Ratify 4th Constitution)

[cinyc]

This voting booth does not open until 12:00AM Eastern Standard Time (1:00AM Eastern Daylight Time) on Friday, May 20, 2016.  Any vote cast in this thread before that time will be invalid.

This voting booth is for 1 Northeast Representatives and a referendum to amend the Constitution of the Republic of Atlasia and ratify the Fourth Constitution of the Republic of Atlasia.

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.

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

You are permitted, but not advised, to edit your ballot within 20 minutes of posting it within this thread. Deleting your ballot at any time or editing it after 20 minutes will result in the invalidation of your vote.

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 12:00:00AM Eastern Standard Time (1:00AM Eastern Daylight Time) on Friday, May 20, 2016 and ends at 11:59:59PM Eastern Standard Time on Sunday, May 22, 2016 (12:59:59AM Eastern Daylight Time on Monday, May 23, 2016).  Any vote cast in this thread outside of those parameters will be invalid.

This voting booth is now closed.  It's obvious who and what won, but I need to validate and tally the votes.  This thread is locked until then.

Official Results - Northeast May 2016 Election
Total voters: 18
Invalid votes:
-dkrolga (Failed 7 day residency requirement)
-ascott (Failed 7 day residency requirement)
Total Valid Voters: 16

Northeast Representative
Only 12 valid votes were cast for Assembly.  Voters who skipped the race won't be counted toward the quota.
Quota = integer[12/(1+1) + 1] = integer[6 + 1] = 7

Abraham Washington declared that he would accept write-ins and wrote himself in.  No other valid candidate not on the ballot wrote themselves in or declared in the official declaration thread.  Votes for all Northeasterners not on the official ballot will not be counted and preferences ignored.

ClarkKent's vote for Abraham Reagan will be considered as a vote for Abraham Washington, because I can determine intent.

First Preference Count:
Abraham Wasington 9 (cxs018, Kingpoleon, ClarkKent, Enduro, RGN08, Abraham Washington, cinyc, SNJ1985, Poirot)
Exhausted 3 (Winfield, Blair2015, JoMCaR)

Abraham Washington exceeds quota and is elected Northeast Representative.

Aye 13 (cxs018, LongLiveRock, Winfield, Pessimistic Antineutrino, ClarkKent, Enduro, Clyde1988, Blair2015, JoMCaR, pikachu, RGN08, Abraham Washington, cinyc)
Nay 1 (Poirot)

The referendum passes.
