Dear all,
I am writing you this email because it's time to vote in The Order Of The
Bee!
Boriss is "out of office" during some days, so I will explain you the
mechanism following his guideline:
How to vote for the Board elections
Here is a description about how the vote is made for the elections of the
Board.
-
Each vote is composed by a list of 5 candidates ordered by priority.
Note that 5 is the size of the board, according to the by-laws.
-
No candidate must be listed twice in a single vote.
-
Omissions are allowed.
Closing the elections
Once the voting period is closed, candidates are sorted by two parameters
in this order:
-
Number of votes
-
Arithmetic mean of priority
The first 5 members are elected as the Board.
Draws
The only important draw occurs when the Board cannot be determined. For
instance, when there is a draw between the 5th and the 6th position. In
such case, a new election needs to be run as tie-break where votes will be
emitted only for those candidates drawing.
Example
Here is an example of an election with only 2 votes.
*Vote 1*
1. Zaphod Beeblebrox
2. Arthur Dent
3. Trillian
4. Ford Prefect
5. Marvin
*Vote 2*
1. Arthur Dent
2. Trillian
3. Slartibartfast
4. Ford Prefect
5. Zaphod Beeblebrox
That gives us the following ranking ordered by number of votes, and then by
average priority:
R = Ranking V = Number of votes P = Arithmetic mean priority
R V P Candidate
- - --- -------------------
1 2 1.5 Arthur Dent
2 2 2.5 Trillian
3 2 3.0 Zaphod Beeblebrox
4 2 4.0 Ford Prefect
5 1 3.0 Slartibartfast
6 1 5.0 Marvin
Which means that Marvin is out of the Board. He has the same amount of
votes as Slartibartfast, but Slartibartfast has a better average priority.
Marvin, the paranoid android, probably does not even care. You know, brain
the size of a planet and they ask him to be in a Board.
I will send in a while an email with more information to those members that
can vote ;-)
Regards!
Cris.
