Article XVIII: Voting Procedure
Each Earlham student may complete only one ballot per election.
Except to cast their votes, candidates are not allowed within a
15-foot radius of the election table.
All ballots include two (2) voting options: "confidence," or "no
confidence.” Voters may vote “confidence,” or “no
confidence,” for more than one candidate running for the same
position.
Candidates are only eligible for election if 10% of all Earlham students
on campus submit a vote in their name, whether ”confidence” or “no
confidence.”
In multi-candidate races, the candidate eligible for election with
the highest number of "confidence" votes, whose “confidence” votes
exceed their “no confidence” votes, is thereby elected.
If there is only one candidate eligible for a position, and their “confidence” votes
exceed their “no confidence” votes, they are thereby
elected.
If all candidates running for a specific office have fewer than ten
(10) percent of all Earlham students on campus submit a vote in their
name, or if all of the candidates “no confidence” votes
exceed their “confidence” votes, another election shall
occur within one week of the previous election. If the semester ends
without a candidate being designating by election, the vacant office
shall be filled by appointment, following the processes set forth
in the last paragraph of Article XVII.
Any infraction of these rules should be brought to the attention
of the Cabinet no later than three days after the election. If any
election is invalidated, a new election will be held within one week
of the preceding election. The election shall be among the same candidates.
