PASSED: Amendment to the Elections Act
#2

It should be noted that when the Deputy CoA copied the text over, they made a minor omission. Article Two of the Election Act should read as following;

Quote:2. Electoral System

(1) All elections held on the regional forums will be conducted via Instant Runoff Voting (IRV).
a. The form of IRV used must be Optional Preferential Voting (OPV); voters may vote for one or multiple candidates in descending order of preference.
b. Should no candidate have an absolute majority once all votes have been counted then the candidate with the least number of votes shall be eliminated from the election.
c. The votes of those voting for the eliminated candidate will be reallocated based upon the expressed preferences, or discounted if no further preferences are expressed.
d. This process will continue until a candidate has an absolute majority.

(2) The option to Re-Open Nominations must be included as a "candidate". If elected, the election process for that candidate shall restart at the nomination phase.

I have highlighted the line omitted above; I do not believe this C&P error will effect this vote in a legal manner.
