No, it's not. "None of the above" is not a winner -- it's "run the vote

How about 5.2.6?
6. The options on the ballot will be those candidates who have
nominated themselves and have not yet withdrawn, plus None Of The
Above. If None Of The Above wins the election then the election
procedure is repeated, many times if necessary.
