I think there's a huge difference between "no candidates" (5.2.4) and "fewer than S2 candidates" in your proposal, and between "NOTA wins" (5.2.6) vs. "fewer than S2 candidates over NOTA". In other words: The threshold is much higer (16 vs. 1 AIUI) and it's much easier that it won't be reached. And the regulations in the Constitution seem logically necessary: If there is not a single candidate or a single winner there has to be some "else case" whereas your S2 boundary is arbritary (which is not bad in itself but it could be any other value too). > Do you think it's likely for it to go on for more than one repetition? I've no real idea but it might lead to a dead end. And having infinite nominations/elections because there are e.g. "only" 10 and not 16 persons seems to defeat the whole idea.
