Designate one person to act as the online ballot entry person for<BR>> your<BR>> county.<BR>> <BR>> 2. After your county's discussions, use the sample ballot below to rank<BR>> the candidates in order of preference, as described in the
sections<BR>> below.<BR>> Fill out one sample ballot for each delegate allocated to your county.<BR>> <BR>> 3. Send your county's ballots to <A href="mailto:cc-election@cagreens.org" rel=nofollow target=_blank ymailto="mailto:cc-election@cagreens.org">cc-election@cagreens.org</A><BR>> <mailto:<A href="mailto:cc-election@cagreens.org" rel=nofollow target=_blank ymailto="mailto:cc-election@cagreens.org">cc-election@cagreens.org</A>>.<BR>> <BR>> <BR>> Voting Theory<BR>> <BR>> On a ranked choice ballot, you indicate "yes" votes by entering a<BR>> ranking<BR>> for candidates. You rank all candidates of whom you approve for the<BR>> office<BR>> in order of preference. In addition to the candidates, the ballot also<BR>> contains an "NOC" (no other choice) option
which is used to indicate the<BR>> end of your voting if you do not rank all candidates. Also remember<BR>> that a<BR>> candidate must receive more votes than NOC to win a seat, so ranking NOC<BR>> as your last choice indicates a "no" vote for the candidates that<BR>> you did<BR>> not rank. If you do not rank NOC, that indicates an "abstention" for the<BR>> candidates that you did not rank.<BR>> <BR>> Voting Process<BR>> <BR>> YES -- For all candidates of whom you approve for the Coordinating<BR>> Committee, rank those candidates in order of your preference, starting<BR>> with "1" for your first choice. Rank only one candidate in each row<BR>> of the<BR>> ballot. Continue ranking all candidates of whom you approve.<BR>> <BR>>
NO -- For all candidates of whom you DO NOT approve for the Coordinating<BR>> Committee, do not write a ranking number on the ballot.<BR>> <BR>> NOC -- If you do not rank all candidates, give NOC your last ranking to<BR>> indicate a "no" vote for the unranked candidates. The votes cast for<BR>> NOC create a second threshold that winning candidates must pass. If you<BR>> just stop ranking candidates without ranking NOC, this acts more like an<BR>> abstention; it neither helps nor hinders the unranked candidates.<BR>> Ranking<BR>> NOC as your last choice gives an affirmative "no" vote to the unranked<BR>> candidates.<BR>> <BR>> Sample Ballot for two candidates for two open seats for remainder of<BR>> spring 2011 - spring 2013<BR>> <BR>> Place
one X in each row to indicate your ranking.<BR>> <BR>> My first choice is<BR>> ___ Stevie Luther ____ Nancy Mancias ____ NOC<BR>> <BR>> My second choice is<BR>> ___ Stevie Luther ____ Nancy Mancias____ NOC<BR>> <BR>> <BR>> Sample Ballot for two candidates for three open seats for remainder of<BR>> spring 2010 - spring 2012<BR>> <BR>> Place one X in each row to indicate your ranking.<BR>> <BR>> My first choice is…<BR>> ___ Marla Bernstein____ Maxine Daniels____ NOC<BR>> <BR>> My second choice is…<BR>> ___ Marla Bernstein____ Maxine Daniels____ NOC<BR>> <BR>> <BR>> _______________________________________________<BR>> Contacts2006 mailing list<BR>> <A href="mailto:Contacts2006@cagreens.org" rel=nofollow
