Amendment Proposal: Tiebreaking Method

An addition to Article IV, Section A, entitled "Note 1"

If no candidate should achieve a plurality of votes in an election, the candidates tied for the most votes shall enter a runoff, in which every resident who voted in the inital phase of the election of that office shall be permitted to cast a vote for one of the tied candidates. This process shall continue until a candidate achieves plurality. He shall then be considered elected.

This is something that I honestly couldn't believe we didn't have already.

Huh. A good plan. I'd like it better if it leaned on something of what we have in the US, where a separate body vote for tiebreakers.

What body? There is literally nothing else to do other than a runoff election.

The dept heads that are currently being elected by this runoff election? That makes equally little sense

"I guess. Maybe the dept heads? "

I completely oppose that idea. The level of bias such a system could introduce is extreme.

I support Gib's proposal.
