Propsed SEP-2 Modification - Reopen Nominations

[Cadair]

This is a proposal for a modification to SEP-2 to clarify what happens if there are the same number of candidates for the SC as seats.

This sounds fine but it opened the question:

If I can reject all candidates when only 1 stands for 1 position, why can I not reject all candidates when n stand for 1 position?

[Cadair]

You can?

[alasdairwilson]

You can?

Excuse my ignorance then, my understanding from reading it; there are 2 candidates for 1 spot: candidate A gets 3 votes and B gets 1 vote. Candidate A is elected, even if there are 17 people who didn't want to vote for either.

This PR suggests modifying the process only if n candidates are standing for n spots, where there is now an option to reject all candidates. If in the above example candidate B had not stood at all leaving candidate A to run unopposed then candidate A would not be elected (assuming the 17 people said reopen nominations of course). If there is a way to reject this case then why not in all cases.

Oh, I see what you are saying. I mean we could add RON for all elections always.

The project custodians expressed a strong preference for #86 in the last election even though neither got the required 2/3 approval to merge, so I'm closing this.
