How Does the DSU Determine The Winners?
The DSU Elections uses a PREFERENTIAL BALLOT to determine the executive positions. The voter is asked to rank the candidates in order of preference in situations where there is more than one person running for a contested position. To complete a preferential ballot, rank the candidates according to your preference, from first to last. Should you wish, you only need to rank those candidates for whom you have a preference; you may choose to only enter your first choice or first and second, etc.
You are NOT permitted to enter non-sequential choices - for example, you are not allowed to rank one candidate 1st and another 4th and leave ranks 2 and 3 blank.
Senate and Board of Governors are elected using a simple plurality, not a preferential ballot. In situations where there is only one person running, or as many people running as there are positions, you will indicate a simple 'Yes' or 'No'.
