title: Sociocratic Election by Consent
|
|
description: >-

A sociocratic method for selecting people to roles through consent rather
|

than majority vote. Developed in the Netherlands by Gerard Endenburg from
|
|
earlier Quaker-influenced sociocratic work.

steps:
|
|
- headline: Define the role
|
|
description: >-
|
|
The group defines the function, term, and tasks of the role to be
|
|
filled, written so all share the same understanding.
|
|
- headline: Nominate by discussion
|
|
description: >-
|
|
Members discuss who might fill the role, nominating others and
|
|
themselves, and explaining their reasoning for each suggestion.
|
|
- headline: Candidate consents
|
|
description: >-
|
|
The person proposed is asked whether they can serve; they may accept,
|
|
decline, or ask for changes to the role's scope or support.
|
|
- headline: Test for consent
|
|
description: >-
|
|
The facilitator asks whether anyone has a reasoned objection to the
|
|
candidate serving in the role. Objections are addressed until none
|
|
remain.
|
|
- headline: Confirm
|
|
description: >-
|
|
The election is confirmed by consent; the role definition and any
|
|
agreed changes are recorded.
|
|
outcome: >-
|
|
A person is selected to a role with the consent of the group and the
|
|
candidate, and the role itself has been clarified.
|
|
practice: >-
|
|
Nominations are not votes — discussion of why someone is suited is the
|
|
point. Allow the candidate to negotiate the role; elections that ignore
|
|
the candidate's consent produce poor results. |
