    The straight-up choir officer election is a popularity contest, and a waste of many rehearsals. A balloted officer election is more effective but still very flawed.   Here’s a different approach: have a qualitative election ballot. Here are the two main goals  
    1. This ballot is constructed in a way that provides important student input
    2. We gain the appropriate student input to determine the best choices in officers
