{{ Unfortunately, babies will die (AI 3)
Amend Rule 2154 (Election Procedure) by replacing the final paragraph with:
A valid vote in an election consists of an ordered list of valid
votes (possibly only one). The voter is initially considered to
have chosen the first vote in the list.
Upon the resolution of this decision, its outcome (if a
candidate) is installed into the office, and the election ends.
Amend Rule 955 (Determining the Will of Agora) by replacing
(c) Otherwise, the outcome is the option with the most votes.
In case of a tie, the vote collector SHALL select one of the
leaders as the outcome. If there are no options, the outcome
is null.
with:
(c) If the decision is an election for an office, the outcome is
decided as follows:
- Each voter is considered to have voted for the
highest-ranked option (or PRESENT) in eir vote which has not
been eliminated as described below.
- If any option receives a majority of valid, non-PRESENT
votes, then this option is the outcome.
- Otherwise, the option with the least votes is eliminated
until an option has a majority of valid, non-PRESENT votes,
at which point this option is selected by Agora as the
outcome.
(d) Otherwise, the outcome is the option with the most votes. In
case of a tie, the vote collector SHALL select one of the
leaders as the outcome. If there are no options, the outcome
is null.
