We don't elect ASPLs. We have candidates for SPL, who must be approved by the SM, stand and address the troop to say how great they'd be. Then there is a secret ballot (each scout writes a name on a slip of paper and folds it). New SPL and SM select ASPLs (2). Other troop members place name onlist for other PoRs, and SM meets with SPL to decide on those.
Usually an ASPL gets elected, and runners-up get appointed as new ASPLs.
