This modification is has been withdrawn as a solution has been found that has been implemented without impacting the SEC. The number of votes received per candidate will not be actively published but will now be made available upon request. Any SEC Party can request a breakdown of results following any SEC election.
What is the issue?
In a Panel or Sub-Committee election, where more nominations are received for candidates than there are seats available in that SEC Party Category, SEC Parties in that category will be invited to vote for their preferred candidate. The outcome of this vote is published, but the detailed breakdown of votes is not.
The Proposer believes that the secrecy of election results is at odds with conventional transparency and normal practice in free and fair elections. Keeping such information a secret could create a negative impression and be seen to dissuade SEC Parties from engagement and participation.
What is the solution?
The solution is to place an obligation on SECAS to publish the number of votes received against each candidate in an election.
Who is impacted?
Large Suppliers
Small Suppliers
Electricity Network Parties
Gas Network Parties
Other SEC Parties
