Alright folks, we're one post away from the ballot for Usenet's newest
award, "Kook Of The Leap Year".
Originally, I wasn't going to make the rules publicly known until
actual ballot time... but I've changed my mind (because I can!) so
here's the skinny:
Kook Of The Leap Year is only awarded during intercalary years on the
Gregorian calendar - i.e. during years in which the month of February
lasts for 29 days instead of a common year's 28. Balloting for Kook
Of The Leap Year can occur at any time of the vote wrangler's choosing
during a given leap year. All candidate-restictions (such as the
Galactic Killfile and Formosa's Law) are waived on this particular
ballot. Additionally, all voter restrictions are waived; anyone and
everyone is eligible to participate in the election! Candidates are
put into play on the actual ballot via write-ins from all voters. The
vote wrangler always has the option to call a runoff election in the
end, no matter how close (or not-so-close) the final tally is.
