In a selection/election with three or more candidates are on a slate for a selection/election require an Instant Run-off Vote (which was used). That has been the standard in ALAC and APRALO since the RALO's inception and the ALAC's first set of RoP.

Hi Amrita,
Thanks for your reply.

As per APRALO ROI, There is nothing motioned about Voting Ranking in Ballot in  Section 30.2;
In Section 30.2.7 specified that " For a Consensus decision to be considered valid the meeting must be quorate and APRALO Members must have been present in person, telephonically, or by other means explicitly approved by the APRALO"

 

Based on the above sections, if the APRALO leadership team decided to make Voting Raking in Ballot then there should be consensus document or meeting minutes (at least). So can you share with us the relevant consensus document in this regard.

 Aside, If one position is open (  APRALO or ALAC  ) then we're supposed to select one out of three and in case someone doesn't like to choose anyone out of three in that case should have the option to abstain.

Hi Jahangir,

I am unable to understand the question, especially considering the following two points:

1. Each RALO functions independently and has its own Rules of Procedures (ROPs)
2. APRALO elections are held as per APRALO Rules of Procedures. 

My suggestion would be to please go through the ROP once again and then make suggestions based on what is mentioned for the next round of elections.

Regards

Amrita

Hi Amira ,

Is there any predefined/approved  policy/SOP/Ballot FORM which mention the template of Ballot Form " ALAC candidates its ranking and VC candidates; right candidate " ? if yes then share us . 
If not then we should work with the At-Large community to define the unified Ballot form in future .

Hi  Shah,

The ballot page is working for me. 

All eligible voting candidates will get a mail and there is a link which leads to the voting page.

For ALAC candidates its ranking and VC candidates it is choosing the right candidate.

If you are facing any other issues, please write to Staff directly  (since the Discuss list has both community members and voting members).

Regards

Amrita
