Going back to an earlier part of the conversation, I'd like to formally propose eliminating "no preference" as a voting option and also revisit the minimum number of votes needed for a vote to count. I'm not going to propose a specific number at this point, because I could be persuaded that just getting rid of no preference serves the purpose, and I'm not sure what the right number would be anyway.
I did a quick scan of the past 10 votes (which appears to be all of them since April 2007) and the average number of votes cast was 72.5, max of 93 and min of 49.
This is interesting.
Woo hoo! Lightbulbs, please.
As a point of irony, any vote on eliminating the no preference option would still have to have the no preference option.
Ha!
Although, I think it's always been an option, not a requirement.

But if it's an option we wouldn't need a vote to get rid of it. If we need the vote to get rid of it, it's a requirement and must be included.
I think that made sense.
I want to eliminate it as an option.

It has never been a requirement, it has been up to the individual proposer to include it if they so desired. I assume this proposal would be more along the lines of banning it as an option.
