Well at least Xander will know not to waste his time next year.


More importantly, at least the voters will know not to waste their time next year.

I think they figured that out already this year.

Since your name is not on the ballot I was presented with on multiple accounts I guess you withdrew or were disqualified by CCP

Neither. He didn't get 200 endorsements.

Interesting since he's on the Endorsed Candidates list

Edit: Yes, that's the vote page. But the other is the Endorsed Candidate page.

That's not the endorsed candidates page. That was the page used for the primaries. Simo did not get 200 nominations.

Sad, but it seems to be true... democracy failed like everytime. At least the CSM has as much power as elected representatives in reality: not much.

The worst candidate did not get 200 votes - democracy has failed.

This election had 2 stages:

First is/was the primary, in which a candidate must recieve 200 'endorsements' to end up on the actual voting ballot. It finished on Tuesday the 2nd.

Second is the actual election, which is taking place now.

Simo qualified for the primary election (the only requirements are "be over 21" and "have a valid passport that would allow you to potentially travel to Iceland"), but did not recieve the 200 endorsements required. He's one of only two candidates that didn't recieve the 200 endorsements (the other being Sgurd Battersea, who also may have withdrawn from the election).

Probably sucks to not vote for someone you support, but if he couldn't even muster 200 people to hit an endorse button on a page, he wasn't going to get elected anyway. 200 endorsements is a VERY low bar.
