Roavin;

RON: Under IRV elections can still default to FPTP, even with the inclusion of RON - the election ends as soon as a candidate has a majority of votes, and this can happen in the first round. Further, under OPV people can simply vote for one candidate if they wish, again enabling a default to FPTP in some cases.

EC: I'm concerned about practicalities here. I'm not sure that having a current official act as an election commissioner could compromise the process; there is no greater opportunity for corruption or manipulation with them, not greater incentive. As the EC consists of a justice, an admin and a CRS member we in effect have a limited pool of possible commissioners - establishing further limits seems counterproductive.

EC2: The theoretical "permanence" of the EC does not reflect current practice, and lacks flexibility. As there is no appointment or election process for the EC - it being a self-selecting body - it further seems redundant to me. In regards to the Assembly's ability to remove an EC; this isn't really that important as the EC only exists during election periods, and isn't a standing body, but there is a general recall provision now rather than the previously limited one.

IRV: I'm not sure about this; I don't really see the logic of making our laws longer by replicating information that is already readily available elsewhere. It seems redundant to essentially copy and paste wikipedia and stick it in our laws. However, if there is general agreement that this is desirable it's something I can do.
