Polls are open!

Post by Callipygian »

For your convenience, the following polling locations have voting machines set up for CDS citizens. The polls are open as of 12 noon SLT Saturday Nov 9 2013 and will remain open until 11.59 AM SLT Saturday Nov 16.

Any eligible CDS Citizen may use the voting booth at any of these locations.

For those new to our voting system, we use Single Transferrable Vote (STV)

Touch the polling station and follow the directions; you will be given a password and an URL to the voting site.

On your ballot you will see a section for RA candidates, and a section for Chancellor candidates.

Our voting system is Single Transferable Vote. You can find information on this system here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single_transferable_vote

and also in a post written by Delia some time ago here:
http://forums.slcds.info/viewtopic.php? ... ote#p16640

On the ballot, just drag and drop the names of your preferred RA candidates from the left side to the right, and check that they are in the ranked order you want - 1 being first choice of candidate, 2 being second choice and so on. You may rank as many or as few candidates as you wish.

To vote for chancellor, select the button next to your candidate of choice.

If you have difficulty voting, first check that you are on the official Citizen List submitted to Jon for the polls.
You can find the list here : http://forums.slcds.info/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=4175

No challenges to this list were received so it is the official list submitted to Jon.

If you are on that list and having problems, contact Callipygian Christensen by notecard or by e-mail at [email protected]. Do NOT trust SL to deliver offline IMs.

If you are not on that list, you are ineligible to vote. You can contact Callipygian Christensen by notecard if you have any questions related to ineligibility.

People often say that, in a democracy, decisions are made by a majority of the people. Of course, that is not true. Decisions are made by a majority of those who make themselves heard and who vote -- a very different thing.
