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.

When we wrote the bylaws in 2001, these fancy voting methods didn't exist, or at least were not well known. :-) Peter
