Voting Method

ACPE utilizes Ranked-choice Voting using the Borda Count method. ACPE members will rank the candidates in order of preference. Select One (1) for your first preference, Two (2) for your second preference, Three (3) for your third preference, etc. 

The number of points given to candidates for each ranking is determined by the number of candidates in the question. Thus, if there are five candidates, then a candidate will receive five points each time they are ranked first, four for being ranked second, and so on, with a candidate receiving 1 point for being ranked last.

After counting all the votes and adding up points, the candidate(s) with the most points wins.
