5C ALL Senate Members that have no other clan affiliation are automatically candidates for the Clan Leader position during an election cycle.
5D Senate Members with another clan affiliation (multi-clan) are not eligible to run for the position of Clan Leader (This is determined as of the first day of the voting period. If a Senate Member with another clan affiliation (multi-clan) wishes to run in the election they must quit the other clan by the first day of the voting period).
5E ALL Clan Members except Recruits each have TWO votes to cast (Recruits cannot vote). Members will vote for their choice of Clan Leader and Co-Leader. Their vote will be weighted as follows: Your vote for Clan Leader is worth 5 points when cast and your vote for Co-Leader is worth 3 points when cast. The election will take place on a thread for that election and votes are public.
5F TIES: In the event of a tie, if the then current Clan Leader is tied for the lead – they remain the Clan Leader. Only if there is a tie – If the current Clan Leader is not tied for first, then there is a three day runoff election with just the tied members as candidates. If a tie remains after the second round, then the current Clan Leader will select between the two tied candidates.
5G Clan Co-Leader Position: The Clan Co-Leader is the candidate receiving second place in the voting. In the event of a tie for second place – the new Clan Leader will designate the Co-Leader from the tied candidates for second place. This begins with the second Co-Leader. The first Co-Leader is to be designated by BeatlesFan during this cycle.
5H Clan Forum Page: The Clan Forum Page will be “owned” by the current Clan Leader. After any election (or other event) where there is a new Clan Leader – A new clan page will be “opened” by the new Clan Leader. Only this first post is to be copied exactly, and a new thread begins. A request will then be made to have the old thread locked.

JeremiahPedoBearWHO CAN VOTE: Every member, except recruits, of VWC on June 1 will be able to cast TWO votes. You will need to be clear about your ONE vote for Clan Leader and ONE vote for Co-Leader.
Your ONE vote for Clan Leader is worth 5 points.
Your ONE vote for Co-Leader is worth 3 points.
Note: It is possible that since the Co-Leader vote is worth 3 points - everyone's second choice could become the Clan Leader! - It is all based on who has the 1st and 2nd most points at the end of the election.
VOTING IS CLOSED:

I am just kidding, you are all excellent choices, and I am having a hard time deciding who I will vote for.
