1. First of all from my understanding main purpose of AGM is to elect office bearers. Since there are currently no contested seats I have a choice of one candidate (or in some cases zero candidates) to vote for so outcome is a foregone conclusion.
2. Even if I did turn up I don't really know all of the candidates nor what they stand for. If we hypothetically had a second candidate for any post only criteria I would have is do I like the guy and failing that have I heard of him. Things like how they would approach position and the ideas they intend to implement don't even enter decision process despite that being a critical issue.
1. The position of President is being contested. It's a little concerning that you didn't realise. Perhaps it is due to the layout of the list?
2. That is why I called for the 2 candidates to realise statements and make themselves available for questioning earlier in this thread. Hopefully they are both considering this.
