Rules

1. In the event of a tie in either the primary or final vote, the Election Coordinator will cast a single vote to break the tie. Whether or not the EC cast a tie-breaking vote will not be announced. In the event of a 3 or more way tie in the primary vote the EC will cast two tie-breaking votes for different candidates. Whether or not the EC cast a tie-breaking vote will not be announced.
2. Anonymous complaints will be ignored. If you don't care enough to put your name to a complaint, the EC does not care enough to investigate it.
3. Only members who are eligible to vote may endorse a candidate. However, anyone with an account is permitted to pose questions to candidates unless restricted from doing so as a penalty for some election-related violation.
4. All members not otherwise restricted from doing so may pose questions to candidates in the appropriate topic, and may engage candidates in on-topic discussion. As all candidates are members, candidates may ask each other questions the same as any other member.
5. The Election Coordinator reserves the right to be a stubborn git as the situation demands, at his sole discretion.

Any further questions regarding the election process, please either consult Legislative Edict Governing Official Elections (LEGOE) or the Election Coordinator.
