ELECTION 2025

[Jasin]

Our Political Animal Forum Election is coming up soon. Due the 2nd week of March.
As your sitting or standing EXALTED LEADER here currently.
I would like to offer a brainstorming of any ideas from anyone as to what type of Election you all would like?
I'm sorry, but I'm very open minded.
I'll start with this:

Only participating Members this year can Vote. That is, members who have contributed sincerely and authentically.
I'll ask VIC to nit-comb any socks that may not be as obvious to us, that just pop in from nowhere, if needed.
It will start with self nomination for the esteemed role of EL.
Then Members will cast their votes on their choice of Nominee.
If no-one puts their hand up, I remain EL.
To balance this, if there is a tie of votes equal to the vote counts of the current EL. Then the CHALLENGER in equal count wins.
If there is a tie between two or more Challengers, but not including the current EL.
Then I as EL must default my own vote (for self) in favour of breaking that tie for a winner from the other Nominees in tie with each other.

So let the PA 'party' begin.

If there is a draw FD usually casts the deciding vote. Personally, I don't think there'll be a problem.

[Jasin]

Sounds better if FD does it

[Nom De Plume]

Well, I understand that I can't vote because I haven't been contributing, but can I nominate?

OK by me.

Then I nominate Jasin.

[Bobby]

Is anyone going to nominate apart from the incumbent?

[Black Orchid]

Probably not but wait until we have the appropriately defined threads.

Brought up in Nominations topic. Times, durations and bowel motions???

The Election will start on the 12th of Marchfly.
It will run for a duration of just one week, unless there is a public opinion en mass, for longer or shorter before it commences.
No magic numbers, no socks and no Dictatorship hiding behind technicalities programmed to bias.
A simple post your self nomination in the nomination topic.
Then cast your vote from the 12th in the Election Count topic to come on the 12th for a week.
Even if there is just one Nomination... eg: myself.
I still need to be voted in.
If nobody votes me in, then this Forum will be subject to me no longer as an EL and without an EL.
What happens after that is everyone's guess. Lol.

Maybe Bobby will become your Steward of Gondor until the return of the King?

Does that mean you don't like my Logarithmic voting system? (often mentioned by me)
