If no candidate has received a majority vote after several additional attempts, what's next?You just keep voting until someone gets a majority of votes. With luck, enough members will switch their votes to the most promising candidate and you'll be done. Until then, vote vote vote.By the way, are you sure no one got a majority vote? I ask this because some posters here, when pressed for details, often reveal certain facts that they don't give originally, such as they are counting abstentions as votes, or they are voting yes/no for candidates, and things like that. So, just thought I'd ask. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not guaranteed to work, but it might be your best bet if things are really deadlocked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
