910 elects two captains at the end of the season (tonight is the voting for 2012's captains, in fact). Team members and mentors of the current season are invited to vote on the next year's captains (the 2011 team elects the 2012 captains).

I think its important for us to have outgoing seniors vote. Its kind of like having an informed third party throw their voice in to the mix. They may be ok with making the right decision, rather than the popular one. Also, it can provide continuity in the overall direction of the team. They can help to ensure that the team stays on consistent path towards a goal, instead of potentially having radically different views come in to change things frequently and never actually accomplish anything (not that that happens with other elections... )
