Hello All, Now that we have enough nominations, the *voting will open immediately* for the August 2024 round of elections.
Since there were 4 Core Committee (CC) Members and 4 CC Nominations, there will *NOT* be a vote for the CC. All 4 Nominated Candidates will automatically become CC Members at the turnover time. The Nominated CC Candidates were: - Jaap van Otterdijk - Navarr Barnier - Cees-Jan Kiewiet - Mathieu Rochette There *WILL* be a vote for 2 Secretaries. The 2 Candidates are: - Alessandro Lai - Lane Staples With the Secretary vacancy, whichever Candidate receives the most votes will be elected to the longer term of 2 years, ending in August 2026. The other Candidate will fill the Secretary vacancy ending in February 2026. Full information about the Core Committee vote and role is visible in the bylaws here: https://www.php-fig.org/bylaws/mission-and-structure/#the-core-committee *Who can vote?* As specified in the bylaws, any Project Representative or Core Committee member is eligible to to vote on Secretary candidates. *When can you vote?* Voting will be open in this thread until 2024-09-25 23:59:59 UTC. *How to vote* The voting system used is STV[1][2], so basically, there is no tactical voting possible (like with FPTP); vote for who you want, even if they are a less popular candidates as your vote will move down to a different candidate if you back an unpopular candidate who doesn't have enough votes; if a candidate is elected, their surplus votes are also re-allocated so you are not punished for backing popular candidates either. There is no quorum, you are of course entitled to not vote and it will not count as a missed vote on the voting sheet. Rank the candidates in order of preference for example: 1. Luke 2. Leia 3. Anakin 4. Rey 5. Padmé 6. Finn At the end of the voting phase I will be announcing the results, and all the newly elected (both CC members and secretary), as announced before. Thanks!
