Balloting/Voting
If unfamiliar with the use of VoteFix, read the VOTEFIX.USE file
that should be available from your election coordinator.
Ballots may be cast beginning on Mar 27, 1993 and until April
10, 1993, or until all eligible nodes are accounted for, which
ever occurs first.
The vote counter will post an announcement when balloting is
closed.
Ballots will be cast via Private NetMail to the vote counter,
VoteFix at 1:163/307.30. Ballots should contain in the body of
the message ONLY a vote for the NewPM election. The password
should be chosen so as not to be obviously from the voter. The
vote shall be for one of the nominated candidates, or "Abstain"
In the event of two or more votes from a node, only the FIRST
vote shall be counted.
Sample ballot Message:
============================================================
To: VoteFix 1:163/307.30
From: Bod D. Voter 1:163/69
Subject: VotePwd
NewPM NDP
============================================================
The polling place is 1:163/307.30. The vote counter will count
the ballots tabulate the results.
. Valid Votes and Election Tag

. Confirmation of receipt
Daily during the balloting period Ed will enter a message into
the Net sysop echo announcing receipt of valid ballots. The
confirmation will specify the password used on the ballot.
Sample confimation message:

The Balloting ends
Ballots will be accepted up to 48 hours following the close
of the voting period. However, the date/time must be prior
to the close of voting. i.e. no late voting.
Tabulation and Verification of the ballots
When the vote has been verified, I will post the password
from the ballots and the vote associated with that password in
the Net 163 chat echo at the close of the polls.

The winner will be determined as the candidate receiving 50% +1
of the ballots cast.
Annoying behavior
Disclosure of any node's vote by anyone other than the node will
constitute excessively annoying behavior.
