From: Johanna Wingert, for Engineering Faculty Council
Date: August 18, 2000
Subject: Engineering Faculty Council Election Results for AME Runoff Election

Ballots for the run-off election of AME were distributed to 25 full time faculty in the Department of AME. Returned ballots were tallied on 8/7/00 by neutral parties, Sandeep Gupta and James Moore, neither of whom was a candidate. To ensure ballot secrecy as required by the Council Bylaws and the Senate Constitution, the following procedure was employed:

1. Outer envelopes were sorted by department and the voter name on each was checked against the eligible voter list to ensure that no one voted twice.

2. These envelopes were then opened and the sealed inner “ballot” envelopes for each department were randomly shuffled.

3. Finally, the shuffled envelopes were opened and the votes tallied by department.

The results of the tally are summarized below.
