Eventually, someone will get a majority. Also, nominations could be reopened. That might result in the nomination of an acceptable compromise candidate.

Richard Brown Posted April 15, 2021 at 09:16 PM Report Share Posted April 15, 2021 at 09:16 PM The candidates can also agree among themselves that they will flip a coin and that the loser will withdraw. That has to be strictly voluntary, though. If the deadlock continues, you do have another couple of options, but if you keep voting, somebody will usually change his vote, especially if the voting is by secret ballot. If it isn't, a secret ballot can be ordered by a majority vote of the assembly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
