Voting by Preferential Ballot Explained<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Voting in the Yukon Party Leadership Election is by preferential ballot. If you have any questions about how a preferential ballot works, here\u2019s an explanation.<\/p>\n The online voting system means that votes are counted electronically \u2013 but it\u2019s easier to visualize how it works by describing how it works with paper ballots.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n So, here\u2019s how that would work:<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/strong><\/p>\n Step One<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/strong><\/p>\n The ballot box is opened, and elections officials look at the ballots. On each ballot, they look to see which candidate is marked as number \u201c1\u201d. The ballot is added to that candidate\u2019s pile.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n When all the ballots are in one of the three piles, they count the number of ballots in each candidate\u2019s pile.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n At the end of counting, if one candidate has more than 50% of the ballots in their pile, they are declared the winner.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n If no candidate has more than half the ballots in their pile, counting proceeds to Step Two.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Step Two<\/strong><\/p>\n The candidate who has the smallest number of ballots in their pile is eliminated.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The elections officials look at every ballot in that candidate\u2019s pile, and see if the voter marked a number \u201c2\u201d choice on the ballot. If they did, the ballot is placed in that candidate\u2019s pile.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n When all these ballots have been checked, elections officials count the ballots in the two remaining candidates\u2019 piles. The candidate with the most ballots in their pile is declared the winner.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u00a0Please feel free to call or email my campaign office if you have any questions.<\/p>\n Ph: (867) 667-6312<\/p>\n Email: brad@bradcathers.ca<\/a><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.4.5″][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.4.5″][et_pb_video src=”https:\/\/youtu.be\/-_n50HGcAGA” _builder_version=”4.4.5″][\/et_pb_video][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.4.5″][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.4.5″][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.4.5″]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/bradcathers.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Bio-Experienced-Principled-Leadership-for-a-Bright-Future.png” title_text=”Bio – Experienced, Principled Leadership for a Bright Future” url=”https:\/\/bradcathers.ca\/index.php\/leadership-campaign\/” _builder_version=”4.4.5″][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ fullwidth=”on” _builder_version=”3.19.9″ global_module=”151″][et_pb_fullwidth_image src=”https:\/\/bradcathers.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/calm-evening-landscape-lake-laberge-yukon-canada-PGXESY3.jpg” _builder_version=”3.19.9″][\/et_pb_fullwidth_image][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Voting by Preferential Ballot Explained Voting in the Yukon Party Leadership Election is by preferential ballot.
