Not to be a dick, but doesn't Dimos technically need a majority vote to win?

Not pfctly sure; I only joined in July or August :3

No, we operate crappy old suckish first past the post, with the new legislated exception being where unavailable candidates took half or a third of the vote in 2/3 candidate elections. I don't think it would be fair to count abstention as an unavailable candidate this time, though I think we should look at putting that rule in (half/a third abstention forces a re-run) in future since abstention rates were huge this time.

The whole Trib election is a rerun case though as Othko took 1/3 of the vote and didn't take up the post.

BTW, It still says Deathnade and Ladyhawk are the mods of the Discussion Collonade, that needs changing.

P.S. Sooooo... how wants to be a Trib with me? I promise I won't bite... with rabies a least...
