    Now that current CCN editor Edward Porper is a CFC Officer and signed in as a Governor, for the sake of clarity I would like to ask if he has a valid vote in this particular poll.

    That would probably be conflict of interest, so it should be "no"?

    I'm afraid I must be falling behind:

    1. What " officer " position does he hold?
    2. Is he now an Alberta Governor? Did he replace someone?

    Thanks.

    Given that Edward is new to this, he may have mistakenly voted in the poll. I have asked him to clarify. Worst case, if we are dealing with a margin of 1 vote or a tie, we can scrutinize the ballots.

    I did vote in the poll as I didn't think/realize I wasn't supposed to. To the best of my knowledge, politicians are allowed to vote in elections that also concern themselves, to give but one example.
    The system accepted my vote as well.
    Obviously, I didn't mean to cheat...

    I'll leave to a chair to enforce the Handbook:

    15. CONFLICT OF INTEREST

    Whenever a proposal is being considered which puts any CFC officer in a potential conflict of interest he shall declare the conflict and abstain from discussion, voting or other involvement in the matter.


    Though an Editor may be not a true officer.

    Obviously somebody can vote for themselves in a political election.

    In this case now that Edward is an officer (Fund Raising Officer) he falls under the conflict of interest rule. Nothing is simple. He has openly admitted to voting for himself, saving Lyle the trouble of looking through these while the election is in progress. We can subtract one from the YES side, unless Lyle comes on and tells us he has adjusted it.
