The first of these two is simpler as you don't need to actually do any graphics manipulations, just specify and serialize the | Nov 30 07:54 |

| schestowitz | Dear SUEPO member, | Nov 30 19:05 |
| schestowitz | Some candidates have requested the Election Committee to stand as a list for the SUEPO elections. To achieve a level playing field we would like to inform all potential candidates of the rules the Election Committee will to apply in this respect. | Nov 30 19:05 |
| schestowitz | Generally the election rules do not mention election lists. Subsequently there is no restriction for colleagues to form an election list. The election committee has decided to allow candidates to identify themselves as being part of a list in all places their name is mentioned. This includes the presentation of the candidates be it on the internet site and the ballot slip. | Nov 30 19:05 |
| schestowitz | The election committee has decided to maintain the established modus operandi of the online voting. For each voter a ballot slip showing the candidates in a random order is automatically created. Any fixed order of candidates would give the first candidates an advantage because of their position on the ballot slip. Because every voter gets the candidates presented with a different order no structural advantage is given to a candidate. We will | Nov 30 19:05 |
| schestowitz | maintain this established system. Within this system we will allow the candidates to identify themselves with a list, if they so wish. Following established practice the order of the candidates for the presentation on the internet will be draw by lot. | Nov 30 19:05 |
| schestowitz | In order to avoid misunderstandings each candidate has to clearly indicate his wish to be part of a list and also agree on all other candidates on the list. To ensure this, each list needs to provide the names of the candidates being part of that list in writing latest three days before the opening of the poll. T his list of names has to include a name for the list and needs to be dated and signed by each of the candidates featuring on the list. | Nov 30 19:05 |

| schestowitz | Dear members of the Electoral Committee, | Nov 30 19:06 |
| schestowitz | Please find attached the open letter from the acting SUEPO TH Committee to the Election Committee. | Nov 30 19:06 |
| schestowitz | Kind regards, | Nov 30 19:06 |

| schestowitz | Dear Members, | Nov 30 19:07 |
| schestowitz | The Annual general meeting has entrusted the election committee with a direct mandate to organise the SUEPO Committee elections. Within this mandate we have been approached by a SUEPO member and potential candidate how candidates could come up as an election list. | Nov 30 19:07 |
| schestowitz | This prompted a consultation within the Election Committee, and triggered our email of the 24-11-2022. | Nov 30 19:07 |
| schestowitz | The only point resulting from our decision is, that individual candidates can now show their affiliation to a group (list) of candidates. On the voting ballot however, the only apparent change will be, that candidate X can indicate that he/she is a member of group/list N. On the ballot, like in the previous years the candidates will appear on a random order and a so-called list will not appear as such, so that no individual candidate will be | Nov 30 19:07 |
| schestowitz | disadvantaged. The lists as such will not stand for election, only it’s individual members. | Nov 30 19:07 |
| schestowitz | The candidates with most of the individual votes will be elected. | Nov 30 19:07 |
| schestowitz | Hence, there is no change of the election rules. | Nov 30 19:07 |
| schestowitz | Our reply and decision falls within the mandate we were given by the SUEPO General Assembly. The Electoral Committee is accountable only to the GA, and does not take instructions from any candidate, or for that matter from the Acting Committee. | Nov 30 19:07 |
