Avri,

Okay I think I am starting to understand where you are coming from; basically you are saying that not providing NOTA option to individual counselor on the ballot (because that of chair is clear) may not give the avenue to factually review numbers of yes against number of no for each candidates. So if there are total of 100 votes weight casted and their are more NOTA for a candidate then such person will not be elected.

If the above is what you are referring to and if that is the usual tradition(which I think you call "old school"). Then it makes sense and yes the current ballot would not provide a definite data source to achieve that. However one could also assume that whoever voted and selected two counselors instead of three is technically implying a NOTA for the particular candidate - Although one may argue that it's not always the case since one could actually decide to abstain on a particular candidate.

Overall I think even though both "old school" and "new school" are not clearly stated in the charter, the known devil should be maintained until there is familiarity with and approval of the incoming angel ;-)

this does not work.

We do not require a quorum, so as long as every candidate gets at least
one vote and as as long as there are only N candidates for N jobs,
everyone gets elected. It take the choice out of the election to remove
NOTA's function.

The voted NOTA gives a demarcation which someone cannot fall below and
still be elected.  That is why picking NOTA is on the ballot with the
same weight as a single candidate. One intentionally needs to pick NOTA
instead of one of the named candidates
