[NCSG-EC] Ballot draft

[Tapani Tarvainen]

Hi,

We agreed to allow abstention, and the draft ballot does that,
although as I said I'd be happy to add explanatory text to
make it clearer.

If you mean there should be a separate "abstain" box, I don't
think we can do that. If you haven't followed the election-reform
list, please take a look at

https://lists.ncsg.is/pipermail/election-reform/2017-July/000023.html

My recollection is that we agreed to use option (1b) as the most
permissive choice that can be done without changing the charter.

Regards,

Tapani
