Presidential Nominations
The three nominees were Bonesea, Nephara and Valanora. Bonesea has decided to withdraw, and Nephara does not aim to pursue the full Presidency. As a result, it is my pleasure to announce Valanora as the next WCC President for the upcoming 79-81 cycle, with Nephara serving as Vice-President.

Voting remains open from now until Wednesday 12th July at 2pm AEST (which is to say, probably a few hours after cutoff for the last day of qualifying).

Voting Results

Cup of Harmony 70 - 13
Seventy - Eshan and Drawkland - 4
Rogue 70 - Vilita and Tropicorp - 4
QAAM - Qasden and Spaam - 3
A Bid for Cup of Harmony 70 - Apox and Chromatika - 2

No one party has a clear 50% majority in the first round of voting, so the second place votes for the Apox/Chromatika bid redistributed to parties remaining in the vote:

Seventy - Eshan and Drawkland - 5
Rogue 70 - Vilita and Tropicorp - 5
QAAM - Qasden and Spaam - 3

No one party has a clear 50% majority in the first round of voting, so both [sic] second place votes for the QAAM bid redistributed to parties remaining in the vote:

Seventy - Eshan and Drawkland - 6
Rogue 70 - Vilita and Tropicorp - 6

Citing 1.5.6 of the Constitution, the tie-breakers are by first-round votes (4 apiece), then second-round votes. Seventy received 4 second-preferences, Rogue 70 received 2. Therefore, Eshan and Drawkland will host Cup of Harmony 70.
