Questions
edit- You stated in General Question 1 that you believe the threshold for being elected to the Committee should only be 50%. Can you please elaborate on why you hold this position? Is it not possible that lowering the threshold would allow candidates without sufficient support (e.g. 50.1%) to be elected to the committee? P,TO 19104 (talk) 22:49, 26 July 2024 (UTC)
- Yes the threshold to be elected should be 50% and above because I believe that 50% out of 100% is sufficient support to be elected in the committee. If 60% is an acceptable percentage to be elected into the committee, in the same way 50% can also be an acceptable percentage to be elected into the committee because in my opinion, a candidate with 50% or higher of votes as calculated by support/(support + oppose) still has more support than opposition so they might as well be considered.
