From 1ea76d17ff1d726a814a417f2fa2d839369563a0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Aleksa Sarai Date: Thu, 4 Feb 2021 12:18:44 +1100 Subject: [PATCH] CHARTER: s6(g)(5): exclude incapable TOB members-elect If a TOB member-elect becomes incapable of being a TOB member after the election, exclude them from the members-elect set and hold a by-election after the TOB seats expire. This avoids the problem of expelling 3 or more TOB members after an election due to a merger, and simply pretends as though the member had become inelligible before the election began. This is simpler and more fair to both voters and the members-elect than re-running the entire election or simulating a re-run of the election using the Condorcet results.
