"In the case of a nomination of one candidate, LACRALO community will hold a poll. If a majority (more than 50%) of people responding to the poll, NOT counting abstentions, indicates NO, then the selection process for the ALAC seat will be restarted with a new call for nominations. On the contrary, the candidate will be nominated."

Abstentions:

: According to rule 12.2, At Large Structures abstaining from voting shall be regarded as having not voted. However rule 19 says  - When a Virtual Meeting of the Assembly is held, the following Rules shall not apply:6, 12.3.  So those casting a vote “abstain” are counted for purposes of reaching quorum.  Based on past votes, staff has identified  that abstention will be counted toward quorum, but abstention will not be counted toward result interpretation; in other words, for result interpretation, we will only count the votes casted for candidate(s), and the candidate(s) with the most votes win.

For releasing results, and in the case of elections for Chair and Secretariat, past practice shall be followed.

Abstenciones: De acuerdo a la regla 12.2, Las Estructuras de At Large que se abstengan de votar deberán ser consideradas como no habiendo votado. Sin embargo, regla 19 dice  - Cuando un meeting Virtual de la Asamblea se lleva a cabo, las siguientes reglas No se aplicaran 6, 12.3.

Aquellos que voten “abstención” serán contados para propósitos de alcanzar quorum. 

Basados en votos pasados el staff ha identificado que la abstención será considerada para propósito de quorum, pero la abstención no será contada para los resultados; en otras palabras, solo contamos los votos para un candidato determinado (s), y el candidato con la mayoría de votos gana.

Para declarar los resultados, en el caso de las elecciones para Presidente y Secretario, la práctica pasada deberá seguirse.
