I saw the difference between the alternate and the replacement. My feeling
is that, for a fair vote, all candidature should be equivalent.
If some ballot have 2 names rather than one, the result will be affected
anyway by the combination effect (that effect can be + or -), depending if
the second name will attract or repulse. I am sure that a second name will
not be neutral.
Second, having some ballot with two names and others with one name is not
fair, even if the second name is not mandatory. I understand that your
proposal is aimed to make transition phase (in case of resignation)
seamless, but to me, this affects the vote itself.
Last, your proposal will induce an over representation of the 2-names
region (not in the NC meeting, since we are talking of replacement
proposal) in the running of the constituency.
I keep a strong preference for using the next adcom member as interim,
before organizing a new election, in which the second has a good chance to
be elected, if he has shown a good voice, presence and activity as a
regular member of the constituency.

I did never consider other way to get to conclusion.
