I think you are mistaken.

If you had a presidential election in a country where there is a run- 
off round to be held if no candidate reaches more than 50% in the  
first round and you then hold a run-off poll with a disqualified  
candidate, this would be election fraud and you would hear about it  
prominently in the evening news. Unless this was in a law-less banana  
republic, the run-off poll would have to be repeated. In fact, the  
entire election may be declared invalid.

Evidently, the way this project is mismanaged fits the description of  
a law-less banana republic quite well and you may not care. However,  
I wanted to mention this anyway because there have been people here  
who were earlier lecturing others about democratic credentials. It  
seems that this was just rhetoric, all talk and no walk.

It also matters because of the signal it sends to potential  
supporters/sponsors. The charter mentions that one of the objectives  
for the project is to "do things right". How likely is anybody going  
to believe that if the project can't even manage to organise a poll  
and follow proper procedure?
