Acclamation of candidates and byelection info

Post by Callipygian »

At close of the declaration/nomination period last night, one candidate had declared for the position of Chancellor - Tor Karlsvalt. Tor will be the Chancellor for the coming term, by acclamation.

At close of the declaration/nomination period last night, four candidates had declared as candidates for a seat on the Representative Assembly -
Sandy Burgess, Jerry McNally, Almut Brunswick and Rosie Gray. Since the RA has five seats, all four are elected by acclamation.

The SC will schedule a byelection to fill the remaining vacant seat.

Congratulations to those elected and thank you for your willingness to serve the community.

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.
