Well, for a Canadian village in BC, two candidates’ names were put in a box, and the name that was drawn by a judge was given the top job.
It’s a small village with an electorate of about 600, so the above-mentioned method to break a tie was okay; the two candidates from Canal Flats both had 158 votes, and they opted for a tie-breaker rather then an expensive re-election.
Sometimes we need a little luck on our side, so maybe it’d do some good to carry a clover leaf with us when we contend for a position!
