Its worked fine at SWaRM ever since we started it in PA R4.

Election rules are:
1) Only Swarmcore Officer/Senior Officer may put their name forward as candidate for the HC position.

2) Candidates put their name forward in the "Candidates Signup Here" thread.

3) The candidates will be given a minimum of 2 days to campaign while we at the same time make a board were all members (Recruit rank to HC) can place questions that the candidates must answer. This board is called "HC Election Questions". Candidates that do not answer within given time limit will be deleted from the election. A 24 hour warning will be issued before the board is closed and voting begins.

4) Only Swarmcore rank and above have the right to vote. The voting will last 2 days (48 hours).

5) If a candidate gets over (!) 50% of the votes, he/she is the winner. If not, then the top 2 (or 3 if a tie) are placed in a runoff vote. This vote will be open 2 days (48 hours).

(Swarmcore rank = a trusted, fullpledged junior member)

The voting is held at a secure website outside our main webby. All Swarmcore and higher ranked must sign-up there, rank checked before being accepted. All voters are given Swarmcore rank at that webby. There is only one HC given HCadmin access to deal with the sign-ups. Believe me, if there is anything that can indicate manipulation of the votes, the voting is abandoned and this HC is in alot of trouble so guess you understand that the chances for manipulation is extrememly small.
