at-large election

Read a random definition: de coronatore eligendo

A quick definition of at-large election:

An at-large election is when a public official is chosen from a large area instead of a smaller part of that area. For example, instead of choosing a city council member from a specific neighborhood, they are chosen by the entire city. This type of election is different from a by-election, which is held to fill a vacant position, and a general election, which happens regularly. Other types of elections include primary elections, where political parties choose their candidates, and recall elections, where voters can remove a public official from office.

A more thorough explanation:

An at-large election is a type of election where a public official is chosen from a larger election district instead of a smaller subdivision within that district. This means that voters from the entire district can vote for the same candidate, rather than just those in a specific area.

For example, in a city council election, candidates may be elected at-large, meaning that all voters in the city can vote for any candidate, rather than just those in a specific ward or district.

This type of election can be beneficial for promoting diversity and representation, as candidates may be more likely to appeal to a wider range of voters. However, it can also make it more difficult for candidates from minority groups or less populated areas to be elected.

I like that Chicago specifically says don't recite shit from our website
I'm hoping so. I feel like my PS might've been too personal or too whiney. I feel like it either hits or totally whiffs depending on who reads it
UVA loved it, but HLS and Chicago don't seem to love it as much
hey UVA hates me, so the process is fairly random
