By signing this petition I indicate that I believe ASG should allow write-in candidates on run-off election ballots if:
a) Only two candidates ran in the original election
b) Neither candidate received a majority of the votes in the original election, forcing a run-off election
c) Greater than 10% of votes cast during the election were for "No Confidence."
As it currently stands, run-off elections are held two days after elections in which no candidate receives a majority of the vote. Run-off ballots include only the two candidates with the most votes cast for them. No Confidence and write-ins are not options on this ballot.
The administration is finally feeling the heat because this momentum proves they cannot keep silencing us. We are forcing them to look at a demand they tried to ignore and they are running out of excuses to keep us off the ballot.

This is ridiculous. If people voted no confidence the first time why force them to pick between the same two people again?

If neither candidate won why are they the only ones on the ballot in the runoff? Makes no sense.
