<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void and start a new one without the withdrawn candidate.

<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not voted yet that one candidate has withdrawn is *unfair*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><br>

<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>

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>
