Dear all,
Following the confusion about None of the Above option in the ballot,
the matter was discussed at some length in the election-reform list
and even legal advice sought, and consequently NCSG EC agreed that
there shall be no explicit NotA choice in the ballot, but abstaining,
that is voting for fewer candidates than there're available slots,
will not invalidate the ballot.
That is, the ballot will look somewhat like this:
Chair:
[ ] X
[ ] Y
[ ] Z
Council:
[ ] A
[ ] B
[ ] C
[ ] D
[ ] E
[ ] F
and you must mark at most one of the Chair candidates
and at most four of the council candidates.
You can find the discussion in two threads in election-reform list:
