Procedure for election of CEP Officers
The Chair outlined the following voting procedure, which was agreed by consensus:
1) A quorum was required for a valid election (this would be two thirds of the membership of the CEP).
2) The outcome of elections would be decided by (simple) majority vote of the present and voting Members.
3) In the case where there were more than two candidates for a position, rounds of voting should be conducted, eliminating the candidate with the least votes in each round. In the case of a tied result in such an elimination round a new vote between these two should be taken (after having identified which candidates have the least number of votes). Should the second result not differ from the first round, then elimination should be decided by the toss of a coin.
4) When only two candidates were left, voting should continue until one candidate won a (simple) majority.
