<p>Can I please ask - though this explanation was very helpful
(thank you), I don't understand why Cherie Ellis appears as a
nominee but not as a candidate, despite having self-nominated
(would this not be deemed 'acceptance' ?)</p>
<p>(Apologies Cherie if i'm putting you on the spot!)<br>

<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>
<br>
