Results of the Green Party Executive (GPEx) elections. Congratulations to the successful candidates and all the others who stood. For a change everyone I voted for got in - but international in particular was a very tough choice and big commiserations to the unsuccessful candidates in that election - you'd all have been excellent.
RON refers to re-open nominations and spoilt papers were mainly blanks (all the posts were on the same paper and this should probably be read as abstentions).

NB These numbers are the first preferences only but reflect the order in which candidates were eliminated.
The only reference to the committee posts I'll make is that I stood for the Green World editorial board and despite a very tough hustings was elected.

Some big numbers of spoilt papers there. Any particular reason?
I didn't attend the count but I did ask someone who did at the time about that.
He said that the spoilt papers were almost all blank. We assume this is due to the fact that all the elections were on one piece of paper (oh we're soooo green). Therefore a number of people who really wanted to vote in some elections but not others ended up recording as a spoilt.
I think that's a reasonable assumption as we also provide a RON (re-open nominations) option for the disgruntled which I'd assume nay sayers would prefer to use.
Yep, that's right Jim. Some people only wanted to vote in one or two of the elections. We marked the blank ones as spoilt.
The chair ones on the other hand really were spoilt.
