The election day will be a 2 day poll. Public. no spammers, non board members votes will not count.

All candidates must declare by Feb 29th.

I ( at the moment at least ) am a paid pollster for Eman.

I will be running 2 day sampling polls.

Other candidates are free to set up their own polls, but too many polls will make the sampling meaningless.

the Election day poll will ONLY name the candidate, and the designated VP ( if they have one).

The candidates will be solely designated by their username.


If you have any other suggestions on the election process, please post here.


We will have eric do a 2 day sticky April 1 and 2.
( dates subject to amendment to March 31 and April 2 -depending on agreement from all candidates)

Okay guys, I am all for this however it all needs to be taken to the corner bar. So for tonight keep things up in the three threads you already have in here and in the morning I am going to move them over to the corner bar.

How ever you guys have this worked out is all good to me. When it comes time for the sticky thread let me know and I will pin it up for the 2 days. In the mean time, after the threads have been moved to the corner bar remember to keep them kicked.

got it. now the candidates must consider running mates, and election dates.
I do think we need a cut off date for rules/registration.
end of this month leaves a full month to campaign.

These rules are fine with me. But watch the other side. They will agree to the rules and then try to change them when they are losing.

CosmicRocker

that's why we are giving till the end of the month for any proposed changes. then the rules get set. the field is closed.

I don't trust the average voter. We need a poll in each forum with each forum having been weighted and assigned the appropiate number of electoral votes.
