Voting booths closed as of 5pm PST Sept 17

Voting is over - what happens now?
* Votes will be verified and counted for every candidate.  We will tally all the votes for every candidate and verify the voters that:

a) they subscribed to HTC
b) they have flown in the CT
(see rules posting on first day of voting)

* The list is then given to HTC for verification.  Just because a candidate may have won an election, it is not a guarentee that they will get the seat.  HTC has final say on ALL positions, period.

* Successful candidates will be contacted via email and asked if they wish to accept the position. If they pass over, the runner up will be asked.

* Once all positions have been confirmed, the CT Staff will announce the results.

I have already spotted a dozen or so voters that I can't identify who they are because their forum ID doesn't match their player ID, or they have never stepped foot inside the CT.  Unfortunately, those votes will be disqualified.

Fork,

We have two delegates that by what I see and read, have effectively withdrawn from the election process. Personally I thought all that had been nominated/accepted/and finally listed were eligeble and interested in obtaining a position. Obviously I wasted at least 2 votes as did many others.

My question as to protocol is: Are these votes considered "non-transferrable"? In other words is the staff or electoral board going to allow something like-I xxxxx do not wish to serve in the capacity elected. Thank you for your votes and support but I wish to give my support and votes to-xxxxx

I am not trying to gather up support for this-just expressing an opinion that if this is bouncing around on the "what do we do now, idea table" That I think that would be a mistake and that all votes cast whether wasted or not should stand as they are and are NOT transferrable.

Just my opinion

Man, that's about a fourth!
No problem with bumping them out, that's just a lot.

The CT gets about 600 AHers to visit per tour.  We probably have 100 to 200 regulars, and only about 30 or so voted.
