RON stands for Reopen Nominations.

If you don’t fancy any of the candidates running, then you can choose RON for a particular position.

If RON wins, that election will be reopened for that post at a later date and we’ll have another election.

For example, if you like Candidates A and B but you really don’t want C, label your ballot paper like this:

 

Election Candidate Names	VOTE PREFERENCE
Candidate A	1
Candidate B	2
Candidate C
RON (Reopen Nominations)	3

 

This means that none of your votes will get transferred to Candidate C.
