The rules applicable to various nomination situations are outlined below:
*In the case of multiple nominations: *
· The standard weighted voting method will be used, and the
candidate with the largest number of votes will be declared the winner
(LACRALO Operating Principles , Article 8 (Updated in March 4 2009 by
the LACRALO General Assembly held during the ICANN meeting in Mexico.
Please note that Article 8 must be read and interpreted in conjunction
with Article 12**regarding voting as stated in the Rules of Procedure
2007 – see Comparative version RoP English / Spanish approved in June
2014. Versión comparada RoP Inglés / Español aprobada junio 2014

the end of the voting period, the votes shall be counted according to
rule 12.9 of the rules, (each vote shall be weighted according to the

casted and voters will be presented to all LACRALO members according to
article 20 in accordance with rule 12.4 *
In the case of a tie:
*
· A random selection, carried out by LACRALO leadership and
supervised by At-Large Staff will be use to break the tie (_UN GA Rule
132 [93_]).*
In the case of a single candidate:
*
· Precedent will be applied. The LACRALO community will hold a
poll. If a majority (more than 50%) of people responding to the poll,
NOT counting abstentions, indicates NO, then the selection process for
the ALAC seat will be restarted with a new call for nominations. On the
contrary, the candidate will be nominated.

Alberto and Humberto
