JUNE 2021 CABINET ELECTION | MINISTER OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS
ELIGIBILITY
In order to vote in this election you must meet the following conditions:
• Become a legislator no later than June 02 at 12 AM (UTC).
• Retain legislator status throughout the election.
You may not vote in this election if you became a legislator after the start of the declarations period or if you ceased to be a legislator in the intervening period (click for more information).
HOW TO VOTE
Voting will be conducted using Instant Runoff Voting (IRV) in the form of Optional Preferential Voting, where voters may vote for one or multiple candidates in descending order of preference. Article 2 of the Elections Act stipulates:
2. Electoral System
(1) Unless otherwise stated, 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. Should more than one candidate have the least number of votes, the candidate with the least number of votes on the next order of preference shall be eliminated. If their numbers of votes are still equal, both shall be eliminated.
c. The votes of those voting for the eliminated candidate(s) 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. Should the final candidates have an equal number of votes when all have been allocated, the Elections Committee will select a method of arbitration. If the method chosen involves chance, then an unaffiliated Discord bot in a public channel will be used to generate a result randomly using a coin toss or some similar set of pre-defined outcomes.
(2) The option to Re-Open Nominations must be included as a "candidate". If elected, the election process for that office shall restart at the nomination phase.
You must vote by ranking all or some of the candidates in descending order of preference, so that your most preferred candidate is located at the top. It is not required to rank all candidates. If you are not satisfied with any or some of the candidates, you may rank the option to re-open nominations according to your preference.
You may cast your vote your in one of two ways:
• Casting a public ballot by voting in the form of a reply to this thread. Your vote will be publicly available and may be seen by all.
• Casting a private ballot by voting in the form of a private message to the Vote Collector account. Your vote will remain private and will be published without your name, so that it cannot be related to you.
Voting shall begin on June 12th at 12 AM (UTC) and conclude on June 15th at 12 AM (UTC) (click for countdown).
Please consider time zone differences when reviewing the deadline for this stage in the election. It is your responsibility to ensure that you comply with all legal requirements within the mandated time frames (click for time zone conversion).
Please note that, once cast, a ballot cannot be changed. Any attempt to change your vote will result in its invalidation.
