With all these people running a ticket is only going to need like 20 votes to get into that runoff.
I'll have to review the law, but I'm pretty sure only the top 2 tickets qualify for the immediate runoff. Makes me feel bad for the ticket that will (inevitably) be third in vote count by a few votes. It'd be cool if we only eliminated one at a time as necessary, but I can see that becoming annoying if it wasn't resolved quickly.

It'd be cool if we only eliminated one at a time as necessary, but I can see that becoming annoying if it wasn't resolved quickly. It could be, but I don't think that's how our election law is laid out.
- Quote:
-
(16) If no candidate in a Presidential Election receives more than half of the total votes cast, a Run-off Election shall be held between the candidates receiving the greatest and second-greatest number of votes. If two or more candidates are tied for second place, the tie shall be broken by a vote of the Senate. If they are unable to break this tie, then the tie shall be broken by the Office of the Supreme Chancellor. Should the Office of the Supreme Chancellor be unable to break this tie, the tie shall be broken by the Chief Justice.
Personally, I'd rather have a 24 hour break between the end of the first ballot and the opening of the runoff elections, to allow for the final 2 sets of candidates to compare themselves or maybe even have a debate. However, our law hasn't changed, so my options as a member of the Chancellery are limited.

What's In A Name? You may notice some people call me "Trinn", "Fluffy", "Trylian", or other random combinations, and are a bit confused by this. 'Rylian' was the name I used when I first came to Europeia. After a few months, I had it changed to 'Trinnien' which is the username I generally use outside of NS. I changed it back to 'Rylian' in order to get back to my roots in Euro. Mostly it's just because I like confusing people (j/k). 'Rylian' and 'Trinnien' are derivatives from Rilian and Tirian from the Chronicles of Narnia. Anyhow, now you know and are hopefully a lil less confused.
