<div dir="ltr">I'm not sure what voting method we use for elections, but I can describe it. Voting is open for a week and everyone gets 5 votes. There are no repeated votes allowed and you don't rank the priority of your vote. The 5 people with the most votes win (if you want to call being a director of a hackerspace winning).</div>
