If there are only 5 positions and an equal number of candidates why bother with a tedious election process at all? It seems like a waste of time and resources.
Seemingly so, because before I thought of the same point. But mulling it over with David J. before I made the post, he suggested that we keep the candidacy open for those who have missed registering, esp since Judith did tell David she had interest, so we keep it open just in case she and anyone else might be interested (feel free to PM me!). Also, procedurally and symbolically, I think it's important for us to hold an election and try out voting, regardless. It really doesn't take much time on my part to do so, and I have learned quite a bit in these first few days about blockchain based voting, so to me, it's worth it.
How many board seats are up for grabs?
5, as per the blog post, albeit information I should've repeated.
Ok. There are 5 seats available and (so far) only 5 candidates.
Counting the votes will be interesting.
Ex. if a person sends dust to all 5 candidates address.
Does this mean all 5 get an equal number of votes from the persons Omnis?
I suppose in the case dust votes come from one address to multiple candidates, the most logical option to me is that we split the votes evenly amongst the candidates voted for.
