The Electoral Procedures Codification Act of 2017 defines the quota incorrectly; the formula for the droop quota should be FLOOR(votes/(seats+1))+1, as opposed to FLOOR(votes/(seats+1)). The extra 'plus one' is important, because it ensures that the number of candidates at or exceeding the quota is not greater than the number of seats.

It seems that almost no one noticed this mistake (although I pointed it out, to no response, before the bill was first passed) and thus election administrators have been using the 'correct,' but legally incorrect quota to calculate their results.

This amendment fixes this issue, so that the actions of elections administrators are not in conflict with established statute.

I ask that the FM suspend the rules to allow for an immediate vote.

My main concern is, if it passes after polls open but before polls close, will it apply to the special election that is occurring this weekend?

The special election is for a single seat. This only applies for elections involving multiple seats. So it doesn't matter, as it has no effect on the special election.

That makes sense. I will second your motion for the First Minister to allow a final vote then.

The rules are suspended and a final vote is now open.  Members have 24 hours to object.
