Elections held on November 13 in Pohnpei have resulted in a runoff for the positions of Governor and Lt. Governor. Law requires that winners for those two positions acquire 50% plus one of the votes.
A runoff election will be held on December 11 between John Ehsa and Del Pangelinan for the position of Governor and between Churchill Edward and Kiomy Albert-Kilmede for the position of Lt. Governor.
The recent outlawing of "single-voting" seems not to have effected the Legislative races as some detractors felt that it would do. No runoffs for Legislative Representatives were necessary in any of the municipalities. Write-in votes were not utilized extensively to "force the issue" of the single-vote as many predicted would happen.
On the ballot in December will be a Constitutional amendment that would allow elected members of the Constitutional Convention to amend Pohnpei State's Constitution without the necessity of a public referendum.
