The advantage of including it was to reduce the number of separate announcements needed. Two separate votes on internal TB procedures will feed the perception that we only twiddle our thumbs here. See if you agree with me after reading the second part of this post!


Thanks to Smaug we can correct our technical errors on the technical correction.

Revise paragraph 3.B.ii.c in a technical correction:
c. The presidential elections shall be conducted as follows: Any candidate garnering more thanat least 2/3 of the total TalkBoard vote in the primary presidential vote shall be immediately declared the winner. If there are more than two candidates in the primary vote and receive votes but none receives 2/3 of the total vote then a final vote shall be held between the top two vote-getters. If there is a tie for second place, all the tied candidates shall be included in the final vote. In the final vote, the President shall be decided by a simple majority vote. If there are no more than two candidates for President, then there will be no primary election before the final vote and a simple majority will elect.
