HERKES: That's Oahu, right? <br />• YUEN: That's the way Oahu works. Well, Oahu doesn't have any multi- <br />member - <br />RAY: This is bi-partisan and this is the Council at -large seats we're <br />talking about. <br />HIGASHI: Yes, multiple race. <br />HERKES: Non-partisan. <br />YUEN: Right. Because you have multiple races. Let's just give this out. <br />Nobody is elected outright, so you're going to have 3 people selected in the General. <br />How many carry over from your pool of candidates in the Primary? You might have 15 <br />candidates in the Primary, and logically, you could go vacant seats plus one. You <br />could go double, and it's up to the - again, there's no right way, there's no wrong way to <br />do it. <br />RAY: Roland. <br />HIGASHI: Under the single member district, we have double, one member, <br />the highest two, which is double. <br />RAY: Top two, right, move forward. <br />HIGASHI: So, stands to reason we could go with double. If you have three, <br />and three don't have 50% or more, then the top six would move up. If one has 50% or <br />more, the next two would move up, so it would be four. Is that something that people <br />can live with? <br />RAY: So, does everybody understand what Roland's saying? Whoever <br />moves forward, you just double the numbers. <br />SANTANGELO: In terms of the top vote getters. <br />RAY: Sue. <br />IRVINE: Does anybody know what's generally done? Because you could <br />either double or you could go the number of vacant seats plus one. If we went for, like, <br />six, might we still have people elected with a very small plurality of the vote? That's <br />what I'm wondering. If everybody got almost the same number of votes, the three <br />elected wouldn't have a great deal of support throughout the island. You know what I <br />mean? <br />31 <br />
