Voting will be held via a single round of approval vote open to all legislators who were accepted prior to the start of the declarations period. Please consult the Elections Act for the most recent information on how the election is held.

HOW TO VOTE

Legislators may vote by listing the candidates whom they approve without regard to any order of preference. Legislators may cast either a public vote or a private vote. A public vote is printed as a reply to this thread and is publicly accessible to all. A private vote is sent directly to the Election Commissioner and is assigned a tracking number known only to each voter so that they can track their vote once the official result is published.

Voting begins at 1662490800 and ends at 1662750000. ⏰

INTERPRETATION OF VOTES

This is a non-exhaustive list of scenarios under which the Election Commissioner will exercise their discretion to decide whether a vote is valid or invalid:

• A vote with multiple approvals for the same candidate. The approvals will be counted as a single approval.

Partially Valid

The invalid approvals will be excluded from the official count but all other valid approvals within the vote will be counted.

Invalid

• A vote with approvals for the option to re-open nominations alongside approvals for other candidates. The vote will be excluded from the official count.
