Strict process for elections is crucial, to avoid any impression of
impropriety or vote fixing which could invalidate the results.
Election officials aren't really at liberty to loosely interpret the
process; as volunteers their task is to ensure the established
process is followed and applied accurately and consistently. This
process defines another elected body which can rule on inconclusive
cases: the Technical Committee.
