Any member with good standing may be nominated by any member as long as the nominee has been in the alliance actively for at least 30 days. The nominee should also be nominated by at least 3 members. These 1-4 final nominees will then be placed in a 24hr alliance wide vote, with majority as winning. In the event of a tie, the two tied candidates shall be on a re-vote for no longer than 24hrs.
