Hi Ben, I apologize if the wording is a bit awkward. The primary vote is to formally approve holding the secondary ranked-choice vote, since all RFCs require a primary vote with 2/3 majority. If the primary vote doesn't reach a 2/3 majority, then the results of the secondary vote won't be binding. I haven't heard from anyone who is against holding the ranked-choice vote, but based on discussion with the RMs we felt it was best to include this primary vote to make sure the RFC doesn't deviate from the rules. > If I vote “no,” should I still vote in the secondary vote, or is voting > “no” effectively the same as choosing `<<>>` for all three choices in > the secondary vote? > > Or, if I vote “no,” does that mean anything I select for the secondary > vote is thrown out? No, voting "no" on the primary poll won't add or remove any votes from the secondary poll. If the `<<>>` syntax is your first choice, you should mark it as such in the secondary poll.
