Hi Roy!

This is not "election".

I try to find different from "election" and "selection".

"Selection" is:
1 the action or fact of selecting. 2 a number of selected things. 3 a range
of things from which a choice may be made. 4 a horse or horses tipped as
worth bets in a race or meeting. (Oxford dictionary)

"Election" is:
1 a formal procedure whereby a person is elected, especially to a public
office. 2 the action of electing or fact of being elected. (from Oxford)
"the formal process of selecting a person for public office or of
accepting or rejecting a political proposition by voting." (from
Britanica)


So I back to question: what "election" make by IC?
