Bill #2
September 7, 2020
EEEGO is hereby amended as follows:
The paragraph titled Term Limits is deleted and replaced with the following:
Term Limits
An Egotist who leaves office for any reason, such as the end of their term, resignation, or impeachment, may not stand for election again until the regularly scheduled EGO election in the next Presidential term.
In the section titled Election Procedure, the sentence “If there are more than two candidates standing in the election, the Instant-Runoff Voting system is to be used” is deleted and replaced with the following:
If there are more than two candidates standing in the election, an instant runoff voting system shall be used with the following steps:
On each voter’s ballot, the voter will be asked to rank the candidates from first choice to last choice.
The first choice of each ballot shall be tallied. If any candidate receives more than 50% of first-choice votes, that candidate shall be the winner.
If there are more than two candidates left, and no candidate receives more than 50% of the first choice votes, the candidate with the least number of first-choice votes shall be eliminated. Any votes for the eliminated candidate at any rank on the ballots shall be disregarded and any subsequently ranked votes shall be deemed to move up one rank. Step (2) and this Step shall then be repeated.
If there is a tie over which candidate should be eliminated in Step (3), the Election Coordinator shall cast a tie-breaking vote on who should be eliminated.
If there are only two candidates left and they are in a tie, the Election Coordinator shall cast a tie-breaking vote to determine the winner.
The Election Coordinator has the discretion to announce whether a tie-breaking vote was used during the election.
