Text of the proposed amendment:
"SECTION V-V: Instant-Runoff Voting
A ranked, instant runoff, voting system as detailed below shall be used for all elections of Atlassian officials, allowing voters to assign ranks to each candidate. Elections shall be started on the 27th of the month and run for 72 hours, being started by the Executive President first, the Minister of Defense if not the Executive President, the Minister of Recruitment if not the Minister of Defense, the Minister of Information if not the Minister of Defense, the Minister of Cartography if not the Minister of Information, the Founder if not the Minister of Cartography, and any Atlassian citizen if an official does not start it. Candidates should be arranged in alphabetical order according to ISO 12199:2000. Candidates who made the organizer aware of their candidacy before the start of elections but were not listed may demand a restart of the electoral process and their being added. For however many candidates there are, a voter can assign a rank from 1, the highest rank, to that number, the lowest, to each candidate, repeating no ranks. It is not mandatory to assign all or any ranks, and candidates left unranked do are not assigned a rank. Should gaps (i.e. 1, 3, 4) appear in a voter's ranks, that gap will be closed by moving numbers after it up (1, 2, 3). Write-in candidates may be voted for. During rounds of counting, the candidate or candidates with the fewest first-choice picks is removed in each successive round until one candidate, the winner of the election, remains. Ties for the winner shall be decided in a democratic manner."

Executive President Candidate (3)	Rank
Candidate 1	3 (shit)
Candidate 2	1 (p good)

Atlas Elections for May 2017 have started, and they will run until 72 hours after this post! Candidates can be found here, though you are not limited to voting only for those candidates. As the ballot is a BBCode mess, I've emphasized where you put your ranks with "PUT YOUR RANK HERE", just go a bit to the left to see what candidate it applies to. Preview before posting if you're still having trouble. Reminder on how to vote with the instant-runoff system: put your favored candidate as "1", your next favorite as "2", and so on. Ranking a candidate is not mandatory. Hopefully this new system will prevent any tiebreakers. Another reminder, {td}'s are cells and {tr}'s are rows, they're nested in each other like so: {tr}{td}Candidate name{/td}{td}Rank{/td}{/tr}

Code: Select all

Please use the correct ballot, and at least use the right month if you're gonna do it this way. Thanks.

Also, as there were apparently some technical difficulties with Coraspia this is just a heads up for everyone who has already voted that Coraspia is a candidate for MoR, if you want to add him as a ranked candidate to your ballot use this code and insert it in the Minister of Recruitment section.

I shall vote in the manner I so choose, not in the way you demand. Not just that, your ballot is a disaster.

That's wonderful, just means your unconstitutional vote is invalid.

It's very much valid, just not in your preferred format. I would have thought you of all would be able to understand my vote. The vote I gave is to be counted as my number 1, and I then did not rank anyone else. Just because I didn't use your ballot doesn't mean you can go claiming such vote isn't invalid.

Yes. You can count that as my vote.
