Draft 1 template A, 12NOV - weighted voting, sysops in region vote. Freely available for RC's to edit as they desire to meet needs of region collection.

Z1C ELECTION - 2000

The Z1C has announced an election, for a new Z1C. Per Policy4, the ZC is elected by the RC's under them. It is the choice of the RC## to do this by election from the sysops in R##.

To be eligible to vote, a SysOp must be nodelisted in R##. The nodelist used will be the current nodelist at the time of each stage in the vote. (alternative, current nodelist at time of vote)

Those who are eligible to vote will be those SysOps who are nodelisted in R##. Each sysop will be allowed 1 vote, regardless of how many nodenumbers they may hold. Systems with 2 people entered as 'sysop' will recieve only 1 vote.

All times refer to recipt at the election coordinators site, not time sent by the sysop.

Voting Period DEC 03-10, 2000 All dates start at 00:00 and end at 11:59 #ST

Following the campaign period, a period shall be allowed for each eligible voter to cast his/her vote. Votes must be sent via netmail (direct or routed) to the regional election coordinator who is (insert what's needed for your region) during the voting period and must include a keyword or password to the regional election coordinator.

Votes will be cast in the following manner: Weighted voting where each vote cast attains a number of assigned 'points' based on the order in which you list them. If you list only 1 candidate, they will receive as many 'points' as there are candidates. In the sample below, that would be 4 'points'. You may not list a candidate more than once (IE: You cant get Betty Beta 10 points by listing her 4 times, sorry!).

Example: 4 candidates: Abe Alpha 4 pts Betty Beta 3 pts Charlie Chuckles 2 pts Donald Delta 1 pt

Winner of the election will be the one with the most total 'points'. If there is a tie, recalculation will be done counting only the top 2 votes of each member (hence your votes 3 and 4 would be cast out) to determine if a tie still exists. If a tie still exists, recalculation will commence with your first listed entry only. If that also results in a tie, the RC shall cast a deciding vote.

These results will also be used by the RC, should there be a run-off election at the RC level voting for our region, by removing those candidates who were eliminated, and calculating the 'points' of the remaining candidates. Should this result in a tie, the RC will cast the deciding vote.

*note, edit in here a 'contesting' time if your region needs one. I'd advise you do have one**

Sysops may if they desire, deligate their vote to the RC who will then cast for them. Sysops who desire to do this, must expressly state that this is their intention either the local region echo or netmail. Under no circumstances may the RC presume to cast a vote for a Sysop, without expressed desire of the sysop for such action.

If that also results in a tie, the RC shall cast a deciding vote.
