The Rules Committee of the General Faculty shall make the final ruling in any election dispute or on any election matter not covered by these rules. The major revision proposed here will change the voting system from the Hare to the Hare-Clark System. The Hare-Clark System removes this defect, by using fractional weighting for transferred excess votes. Counting votes electronically, which is a goal the Office of the General Faculty hopes to reach in the spring of 1999, will make fractional weighting easy. The other revisions being proposed are primarily for clarification or to allow for the use of an electronic voting process.
