Rejected
Summary
The current Panel election process is complicated, with several voting rounds and the ability for voters to give up to 3 (non-transferable) candidate preferences. Arguably, it can lead to results which are not reflective of voters’ first choice of candidates, and which can potentially be influenced by tactical voting. Modification P251 seeks to improve the procedure for electing the Industry Members of the BSC Panel, through adopting a standard Single Transferable Voting System
Progression
The Authority rejected both the Proposed and Alternative P251 Modifications on 16 June.
