Do we really want to create a brand new RO (considering how often we're relying on non-ROs to run these elections) just so we can have them post a poll, then immediately revoke those powers? It's pointless and a waste of our already limited RO slots. Not to mention we need to ensure the Delegate actually remembers to do this in advance otherwise the gameside vote is going to get delayed.

It's not as though we're asking the delgate to run the gameside vote, it's just posting a very simple poll. It's nit hard to keep it unbiased, and in the rare chance the delegate does try and rig the vote we probably have bigger problems looming.

I actually think it does create a bias — no matter how much we try. It's also not an issue to assign the RO stuff. In fact, I noticed you and Kris still both have it from when you were EC's and I still had room for Feir.

We're already at 11 ROs with a 12 RO cap, and that's with 3 CRS members having overlapping RO roles. One election and that spot isn't so guaranteed. As we saw in this election having a CRS member being able to EC isn't even a guarantee.

And it's not that hard to make an unbiased "Vote for A or B". Anything that isn't should be obvious to the EC at which point they can legally reject it. Which is of course going to be a rare case. The EC will still be responsible for the results after all. And as I mentioned if the Delegate is visibly trying to rig elections we almost certainly have bigger threats looming.
