The Election

 


Above: The voting paper used in the election for the Honorary President.


The election for the Honorary President will be held a several weeks after a general election. Voters will receive their voting papers in the mail, along with a booklet introducing all the candidates and their record of community service.

When people vote, they will be either approving or not approving each candidate individually. There will be no ranking, how-to-vote cards or preference deals. This simple system is perfect for choosing a non-political head of state.

The Australian Electoral Commission will receive and count the votes, announcing the most approved candidate as our next Honorary President. The second and third placed candidates become our Honorary Vice Presidents.
