19.11 Voting Process
19.11.1 All votes must be by secret ballot. Votes may be cast electronically, in person, telephonically or some combination thereof. For votes cast in person or telephonically, the services of a trusted third party will ensure the secrecy of the ballot.
19.11.5 When there are two candidates remaining, there will be a vote of the electorate. Should one candidate receive greater than 50% of votes cast, that candidate will be declared the winner. If there is a tie, and if sufficient time remains, the BMSPC will run the tied election over again in case voter positions have changed. Detailed vote results will be announced at the completion of every vote.
19.11.6 If there is no time to have the run-off election in as called for in 19.11.4, to run the tied election over again as called for in 19.11.5 or if after the second vote there is still a tie, a random selection by a method determined in advance by the BMSPC will be used to identify the candidate to be removed. Such method will be one that does not rely on trusted agents but can be independently verified.
19.11.7 If multiple voting rounds are necessary and if the schedule permits, time should be allowed for discussion and consultation between rounds.
