Hi GOSH Community,
I am back with more updates on the GOSH Election! As many of you have seen on the forum, candidate nominations and voter registration are open. Below, I am sharing more information on how voter eligibility is being vetted below.
Voter Registration & Eligibility
As voters register to vote, I have been checking their eligibility continuously. I have already sent the complete list of registered voters and candidates to Freda (@Yamorti_1) so that she can see how the validation process has been going.
I also created this document where I selected a small sample of registrants, anonymized their information, and explained the process of how I checked their eligibility. I created this to be shared with the community so that you can see how I have been checking voter eligibility.
Tabulating the votes
Freda and I have confirmed a meeting time to tabulate the vote in September, and we have also agreed on a plan for what to do in the case of a tie during the election.
If there were a tie between two candidates in the automatic runoff, whichever candidate scored the highest in the scoring round becomes the winner. If, however, two candidates tied in the automatic runoff and had the same score in the scoring round, we decided that we will flip a coin to determine who the winner is. The tied candidates will be notified before the coin toss as well.
That’s all for now, and I look forward to announcing the candidates later this week!
