<br>
I fear I've forgotten the answer to this, so here's a stupid question: why are<br>
some nominated people not candidates in the election even if they've got two<br>
nominations?<br>
<br>
Is it because the candidate has to accept the nomination, and those candidates<br>
haven't accepted the nomination?<br>
<br>
For example, Michael Still was nominated for the committee by two people, but<br>
isn't a candidate?<br>
<br>
It would be good for any future voting system that Linux Australia sets up to<br>
include information like that to help idiots like me understand the parity<br>
error :-)<br>
<br>
Thanks in advance, and have a good holiday,<br>
