            <div>No, this is completely off. If a candidate withdraws
              during an election, you should declare the current ballot
              void and start a new one without the withdrawn candidate.
              <br>
            </div>
            <div> </div>
            <div>Leaving the ballot running, but telling people who have
              not voted yet that one candidate has withdrawn is *unfair*
              to those who already voted. <br>
            </div>
            <div><br>
            </div>
            <div>I would hope that running a ballot is low-enough cost
              that this doesn't have a cost impact, unlike a paper
              election!</div>
            <div><br>
            </div>
            If Jeff had been elected to the board and then resigned the
            day after the election then I assume there's regulations for
            having new by-elections for vacant seats, but this situation
            is not the same. <br>
