1.    Voters in the Tendency Determination Poll will be Eastern Mediterranean University's full-time professorial staff, senior instructors-instructors-experts, administrative staff, workers and members of the EMU Student Council.

2.    64% of the weighted total of the casted votes will be obtained from the professorial staff's votes, 24% from the senior instructors'-instructors-experts' votes, 10% from the administrative staff's and workers' votes and 2% from the student council members' votes In line with this,

Vote coefficient for professorial staff = 64/(total number of professorial staff who have casted votes)
Vote coefficient for Senior instructors - Instructors - Experts = 24 / (total number of senior instructors + instructors + experts who have casted votes)
Vote coefficient for Administrative Staff and Workers = 10/( total number of administrative staff and workers who have casted votes)
Vote coefficient for the members of the Student Council = 2/(total number of the Student Council members who have casted votes)

In this poll, a candidate who have obtained 50%+ of the votes will be the winner.
