The candidates are listed and invited to introduce themselves here.

Where to vote:

Last-minute votes will be taken in #ppnz on Sunday night, but we recommend you arrange your vote in advance.

Option 1 - email your vote to any executive council member (not incl those running) any time before the meeting. The final result will not be declared until all executive council members not attending the meeting have responded.
Peter (vice-president@pirateparty.org.nz)
Noel (secretary@pirateparty.org.nz)
Tommy (president@pirateparty.org.nz)
Option 2 - Nominate someone to vote on your behalf on Sunday night. email an executive council member who will be attending to inform us of this nomination, the nominee will still be able to cast their own vote as well.
Executive Council Members in attendance:
- Pervach is attending (president@pirateparty.org.nz)
- Attendance of the other 2 tbd (vice-president@pirateparty.org.nz, secretary@pirateparty.org.nz)

Submit 3 ranked lists for 3 different positions:
Policy Committee (3 seats, 4 candidates)
Campaign Manager (1 seat, no candidates)
Head of Policy (1 seat, 2 candidates)
In each ranked list:
ballots will place a preference against a number of candidates. You many place a preference against ("vote for") as many or as few candidates as you choose, or no candidates at all.
The preferences do not need to be unique (you can give both candidates equal preference).
Example votes:
Vote for PPNZ Campaign Manager
Joe Smith (2)
John Citizen (1)
Vote for PPNZ candidate selection
Joe Smith (1)
John Citizen ( )
Vote for PPNZ candidate selection
Joe Smith ( )
John Citizen ( )
Vote for PPNZ candidate selection
Joe Smith (1)
John Citizen (1)
All of the above are valid votes (except for the fact that the contestants will have different names). The lower number has a higher preference.
Winning candidates will be calculated using the method described below.
Candidates will then only be elected if they have a preference in ballots/(n+1) of the valid votes.
For elections to the positions of Campaign Manager and Head of Policy, this means candidates must have a majority of votes.
For elections to the Policy Committee (3 seats), this means candidates must have more than a quarter of votes.
i.e. any vote which does not give a particular candidate any preference at all is effectively supporting the position remaining vacant.

Where are the profiles of the other candidates? Having no basis for deciding between them I will be left with no option but to vote in such a way that, on the exhaustion of my vote for my preferred candidate(s), the positions for which the others are running remain vacant. I'd rather have nobody than someone who's running on name alone.
