#1 You cannot nominate and 2nd your own nomination.
- Topher could nominate himself and you could second it.
#2 All nominees are informed of what they are nominated for to run
after the nomination period is over(Nov 5th). At that point the
nominee needs to inform me of what position they are running for if
nominated to more then one position OR if they want to decline the
nomination and not run at all.
#3 No one will be elected to a position without knowing it.
