All non-candidate committers including MMC members may vote, but candidates and the member calling the vote (as usual) may not.
What exactly is the rational for candidates not being allowed to vote?
It seemed logical that people over whom you vote do not vote themselves. Similar to confidence votes, where you cannot vote to prevent being ousted, for instance.
After voting, those candidates with the most votes take seats in the MMC. In case of a tie, unless one of the tie-ing candidates offers to retreat, the MMC chooses the candidate by lot.
I think choosing by lot is a bit unfair
But a lot quicker. A second round would delay things again.
What if there are enough candidates, but not more then enough? So e.g. 2 free seats and two candidates?
If there is no apparent choice because there are exactly enough candidates to fill seats, there are not enough candidates for an election.
Trickly wording, eh?
Other opinions?
