We might want to consider other voting methods. For the
last few years I have been the official "observer" for elections to the
Thunderbird Council, which uses the Scottish STV method. There are several online voting
services that are quite inexpensive - Thunderbird has used OpaVote but there are others,
too.
the STV method looks very good. I like how they calculate the quota
based on the number of available seats.
But I also don't remember how we came up with 50% quota when the bylaws
were written.
