LOTW Resolution #32 Passes

Resolution #32

LOTW votes that players not post in RPEs where they are not rostered. Infractions will be investigated by the Parliament Leader.

The results are 31 in favour, 7 opposed, and 6 abstained. The motion is therefore passed.

Out of our 73 members at the closing of the booth, 44 voters is a 60.27% turnout – a great turnout!

We have seen a great rise in number of players voting at the booth over the last year, now topping off at 44 voters between this election and the previous election. I don’t believe this is the end however. With new efforts in place to increase member awareness of the voting booth and with much encouragement from the COs, we may very well see those numbers improve over the next few elections.

This is great news for the club, a good sign of our ongoing commitment to democracy. The COs have been made aware of their RPE’s individual turnouts. My congratulations to the following:
Bill Greene and The Freedom of Wealth for being the first to hit a 100% turnout this election!
James McGuire and The Queen Elissar, as well as Mike Palmer and The Prinz Eugen for also producing a 100% turnout!
In total, 3 ships have made a 100% turnout and 2 ships were exactly 1 vote away from a 100% turnout – this is an indication of progress and to all the COs, you have my sincerest gratitude for your efforts in making this election a true success!
