Corret...ish

Point of Clarification:

Example Election:

Barack Obama/Joe Biden --- 48 votes
Sarah Palin/Glenn Beck --- 46 votes
Sarah Palin/Mitt Romney --- 6 votes

The winner would be Obama and Biden.

While Palin may have got a total of 52 votes herself, remember that according to law a person is not elected, a ticket is. That means that Palin-Beck is considered one entity, while Palin-Romney is another.

The SoFE is planning for a total of 110 ballots to be cast in this election, and is ready should the actual number be far higher or lower than this.

Sample Ballot for the impending Special Election

--------------------------------------------------------------------



This election is held in accordance with Article V of the Constitution and with the Consolidated Electoral System Reform Act.  The special election begins at 23:59 EDT October 7th, and ends at 23:59 EDT, October 10th.

DO NOT EDIT OR DELETE THE POST CONTAINING YOUR BALLOT IN ANY WAY AFTER 20 MINUTES OF ITS BEING POSTED OR YOUR VOTE WILL BE INVALIDATED

The act of campaigning within the election booth is strictly forbidden and will render void any votes made by those who campaign.  The act of campaigning is considered to include, but is not limited to, strong attempts to compel others either to vote or not to vote for one or multiple candidates, or other related activities that could reasonably be construed as a direct attempt to influence how future voters cast their ballots. In other words, this is not a discussion thread. Keep posts to votes only.

However, the Department of Forum Affairs will make every effort to be fair in consideration of the above matter and will give voters the benefit of the doubt.  Explanations of one's vote or simple expressions of approval for a candidate will not be construed as acts of campaigning, unless they obviously violate the above criteria.

Place the numbers 1, 2, etc. in the space provided beside the candidates who you wish to vote for to designate your order of preference for these candidates.  If any other mark or attempt to order the candidates is made, the Department of Forum Affairs will make every effort to deduce voter intent from the content of the ballot, but the warning must be issued that failure to follow the above instructions may result in the invalidation of your ballot in the event of an inability to discern voter intent.  You are an eligible voter in general if you were registered to vote on or before the proper date, and if you made 15 posts in any location within the Atlas Forum in the 8 weeks prior to the commencement of the regular election. In other words, if your name appears on the Census list, you can presume you are elegible.  

In the event that you do not support any listed candidate or that you support one or many candidates that are not listed in addition to those that are, you may write in other candidates and include them in your list of preferences.  Space is provided for one such write-in, but as many can be listed as you wish.  In the event that you do not support any listed candidate, and do not wish to write in any candidate, you may place an X or a 1 beside "None of the above", and only beside "None of the above".  In the event that an X or a 1 appears beside "None of the above" on a ballot, all other marks or numbers will be ignored.  It is not permissible under current election law to vote for both "None of the above" and other candidates.

Names of candidates follow in alphabetical order.

Yes, you are quite right! Thats why I like to take a look at these things before going up officially, so I can catch any type-o's >.<

Actually it legally cannot! It must start between midnight on Thursday Morning, and Midnight on Friday Morning. I can pick any time, but due the confusion from last round, I've chosen 23:59 for clarity.

Hum, actually technically it could start at 00:01 on Friday Morning, but that would require the election to end at 00:01 on Monday Morning, and that would probably throw people off. I think 23:59 is good to stick to for now Tongue

Unfortunately, I am still ill, and my medication is kicking in very strongly, and I doubt I can remain awake for the next 35 minutes. I will therefore post this shortly with a notification that voters need to wait 30 minutes before voting.

70 valid ballots cast so far.

1 Invalid ballot cast so far: abaleman      Registered too late to qualify to vote. Ballot invalid.

Temporary Tracker:
ROUND ONE:
Barnes - 33
Vepres - 22
Wormyguy - 14 *
Sewer - 1 **

** = Eliminated since this vote will not change the result. 14+1=15 15+22=23 23<33.
* = Eliminated since he is last once the above is taken into account.

ROUND TWO:
Barnes - 36
Vepres - 34

Reaganfan's ballot has been additionally disqualified as the 7 day provision does indeed apply to special elections and not just regular elections as other laws had stated.


As of Verily

ROUND ONE:
Barnes - 40
Vepres - 23
Wormyguy - 16
Sewer - 1

ROUND TWO:
Barnes - 41
Vepres - 23
Wormyguy - 16

ROUND THREE (hypothetical):
Barnes - 43
Vepres - 37



A Note. My count has Sewer with one vote while some private counts have Lewis. Sewer wrote himself in, though, not in the #1 slot. Lewis wrote Sewer in above himself. This Sewer would get this ballot.

Thanks. While I do run into bumps in the road, I am trying to ensure that these things will never be a problem again. The more problems I run into now, the better we will be in the future as I am adding more and more to the Guidebook. My goal is that we will never have repeated problems again.
