RA By-Election Results

[Delia Lake]

We have the results from the RA by-election. Congratulations to Guillaume Mistwalker, the 7 member of the 14th RA. It was a very close election between two active CDS citizens. 27 CDS citizens voted in this by-election. Guillaume received 14 votes and Trebor Warcliffe received 13 votes.

Of course with only two candidates the STV aspect does not come into play very much. The results are:

Loading ballots from file blt.txt.
Ballot file contains 2 candidates and 27 ballots.
No candidates have withdrawn.
Ballot file contains 27 non-empty ballots.

Counting votes for December 2010 using Meek STV.
2 candidates running for 1 seat.

[Guillaume Mistwalker]

Thank you, everyone. I am still a bit surprised that I've been elected!

Thank you to all those who helped to administer this election: Delia and Jon; those who have worked to pass out information about both myself and Trebor: Anna; and those who have helped me in my campaign! I would also like to thank Trebor for being such a good opponent in this election and for having such a close election! I will definitely look forward to working as the 7th RA member this term!

[Trebor Warcliffe]

Congratulations Guillaume on your win. As an active citizen in the CDS I look forward to working with you and the other RA members this term. I'd also like to thank everyone who helped make this election a success. I'd also like to thank all the citizens who gave their support and voted both for myself and Guillaume.

To bad there had to be a choice. The RA would have been so honored by both of you being able to join the ranks.
