Our system of needing a majority of the ballots cast allows our Membership to NOT vote for a candidate. For example: A candidate runs on a platform to sell the Co-op to Walmart. This candidate receives 20 votes out of 500 ballots cast. In a system where you just need the most votes cast, as in our situation were we have the same amount of candidates as openings for a full Board, this candidate would gain a seat. In our system, you would need 251 votes to gain a seat ensuring that the Membership's voice is heard. If there are open seats after the election, the Board Members can appoint folks until the next election.
