There was a different vote for separating the Code of Laws into the Election Act.
When did we vote for reforming the electoral system?

Before this gets too out of hand, the way I'm reading it law, means all Cabinet elections would run as the delegate/vd elections run now, right? (ie. the winner would need to be 50%+1)

Amendments to Article 1-2 of the Election Act. In several places the Code of Laws was actually shortened, because the runoff procedures were no longer necessary. @Tsu: It means all candidates need 50+1% support, yes; however instead of doing it in a runoff format (where we have to vote twice to resolve insufficient support), it shortens all of that process into one vote using a ranked ballot. Hence the term, "instant runoff".
That is only AV not IRV Conduct which by the way does not need to be added on as it makes no difference and just wastes more time.

No, both IRV and Condorcet produce candidates with absolute majority support. Basically they just do it differently. The addition of Condorcet, however, ensures that the candidates selected are the most popular candidates for certain. It's the difference of running a single-elimination tournament and a round robin, if we were to use a sport's analogy. Furthermore, Condorcet is far quicker than IRV to calculate - so the addition of Condorcet creates a fairer vote, but also saves a lot of time and energy for the person calculating the vote.
Yes however what I'm saying is the law says that i's just AV not IRV Condorcet. Anyways when is this election going to start up?
