2021 Election Results

2021 Election Results

Hello!
I want to start off by saying that for the election we have had the highest voting turnout that I have seen period. Out of 96 voters we had 93 people vote. I think that’s a great sign and shows that people are invested in the game.

The next thing I want to give is a very quick rundown of how preferential voting works for tabulating a winner. Preferential voting ends when one person has a simple majority of the votes. Simple majority is over 50%. If there is not a simple majority, the person with the lowest number is removed and the remaining votes are distributed from those that remain. If there is a tie at the end or the number of “none of the above” votes is over the person, voting is redone. There was a video on preferential voting that was given at the beginning of voting that explains that system. I’ll link it at the end.

I will be using the term none of the above as either actually voting for none of the above, or the incorrect vote that we had.


For the position of Odd Year Representative, the voting broke down like this:

Round One

  • Jason Jewell - 15

  • Trisha Secord -28

  • Melissa Keith - 49

  • None of the Above - 1

Congratulations to Melissa Keith for obtaining the position.


For the position of Corporate President, the voting broke down like this:

Round One

  • Todd Martin - 44

  • Jake Smith - 46

  • None of the Above - 3

Since no one had the majority, the lowest person was removed, and their second place votes were then counted.

Round Two

  • Jake Smith - 60

  • None of the Above - 33

Congratulations to Jake Smith for obtaining the position.


Again, thank you everyone for voting. Our next scheduled meeting is July 18, 2021 on Discord at which time our new officers will be seated.

If you have questions, please feel free to email the Board at bod@kanar.club, or see the Staff page to email an individual member of the Board.

Thank you everyone for your hard work, and to all those who ran.
