Right.. many of you have probably noticed that past elekshuns have always been a two horse race. Well while making a cup of tea about 10 mins agoI thought of this idea.. and I discussed it with Chipseh (cheap pop lol) and he thought it was a good idea.

So basically my idea is:

The day before the election everyone votes for who they want to win and the next day after the count, the two members with highest votes will become the candidates and therefore are the only two who can be voted for making things sooooooo much easier.

Anyway what you all thing?

People say if they want to be notable a few days before an their names are added to a simple check box form.

The data is then submitted to them along with the username of the person who voted (to stop them voting again) and the person who they voted from the list.

Sadly though, it's a matter of them not having the time to make one. I'll have a go at making a basic one though, 'just for fun.'

Right infact Sod the double vote.. I think the notables should pick two people who are worthy of Notablilty and then we vote for either two.

Next elections, we should have to give a REASON for voting for that person. This would maybe cut down on tactical voting or whatever, and would make the elections more lively with more then two people running for the pee colour.

A system where everyones votes are secret would work well and avoid tactical voting

Ahh...yes. That's a much better idea.
