The Hare System of Vote Counting
Election Meeting:
All Nominees shall have a brief opportunity to express interest in the Executive position they have been nominated for prior to the vote. All nominated members must leave the meeting while each nominee is presenting and while ballots are being counted.
Nominations shall be called and election held for one office at a time, beginning with the office of the President. Candidates not elected to one office shall be eligible for nomination to succeeding offices, ONLY if the nominee is present.
A majority of all votes cast shall be necessary for election. If there are three or more candidates for one office, and no candidate receives a majority vote on the first ballot, the candidate receiving the least votes shall be eliminated, and balloting shall continue in the same manner for the remaining candidates until one shall have received a majority. Tie votes for any office shall be resolved by lot, by the President.

As soon as the written ballots are completed, 2 members of the Executive Committee will count the votes. The faculty advisor will observe the counting to ensure no errors are made. The officers-elect will be announced during the meeting.
