Encke's January 2019 Election Tracker: Fremont and the South

[Fmr. Representative Encke]

The January elections for the Southern Chamber of Delegates, Southern governor, Fremont Parliament, and Fremont Prime Minister will take place from Friday, January 18, 2019, through Sunday, January 20, 2019. In the South, 7 candidates have declared; this means that 5 candidates will be elected to the Chamber, per Article IV of the Southern Constitution. For Southern Governor, incumbent tmthforu94 is running unopposed for a third term. In Fremont, 7 candidates have likewise declared for Parliament, and 6 will be elected, per Article I, Section 3 of the Fremont Constitution. For Prime Minister, current MP Scott is running unopposed.

For this election tracker, I'm trying something a bit different. Instead of making a map for Chamber/Parliament (something that provides very little real information, since party slates aren't really a thing at the regional level), I've included an easy-to-update candidate list to track first preferences and the quota. Meanwhile, for ease of editing and to save myself time, I've combined the executive elecitons into one map, with Lincoln greyed out.

Note that for some reason, the quota is explicitly defined in the Fremont Electoral Codification Act of 2017 as floor(votes/(candidates+1)), rather than the typical droop quota of floor(votes/(candidates+1))+1.

As always, there will be a spreadsheet, updated more frequently than the maps, to track all election.

I wonder, if we pooled all the Fremont FM votes with the Southern Gov votes, if Peace voters would win in that scenario? Would be an interesting statistic at the very least

Well right now it's 15 for YE and 21 for tmth.
If you accept the write-ins in the South, this becomes 17 for tmth and 5 for yourself (adds one to the total because Wyman didn't pref tmth).

So that would be 20 Peace - 17 tmth. Of course the South is more populated and more active so I expect the Southern Gov votes to outweigh the FM votes in the end.

Now that I've voted I can't wait for those purple votes to finally count on the map!

Sorry, my general policy is to color write-ins grey unless they are declared prior to the election's commencement, and to denote party using an outline (mostly to discriminate between, for instance, a protest vote for a Labor candidate and a vote for the actual Labor candidate).

The result:

Whose vote is invalid, 5 people voted Trajan.

Spiral changed his first preference vote to Peebs. Peebs wrote herself in for 4th preference, so Spiral's write-in is valid.

Ahhhhhhhhh

TimTurner, saved by the bell once again. Though only because he actually remembered to vote this time.

Wait, actually, if you distribute the tack and Peebs vote, Wulfric gets to 7 and Xeuma gets to 5. So actually Tim and Xeuma are still tied. If HCP's votes are redistributed, one goes to Tim and one to Xeuma, so they are tied again. It's going to be Saint's surplus that decides the result.

All of Saint's quota flows to Alancia. All 8 votes. That brings Alancia to quota exactly.

[AustralianSwingVoter]

Here's the final count. CMB meets and Saint exceeds quota. Saint's surplus brings Alancia to quota. Tack is then eliminated, his vote bringing Wulfric to quota. TimeTurner and Trajan are still tied.

PAGING TM AND PEEBS

Do either of you two know/remember what happens when there is a tie in the CoD? I can't find it anywhere in the statute. Because it currently exists.
