Differences between elections and appointments

Elect (选举): Candidates are nominated by the Presidium or by the delegates. When voting to elect, delegates are allowed to vote for or against the candidate, or to abstain. If a delegate votes against the candidate, they can write in another person as a replacement, but if they abstain, this right is unavailable.
Appoint (决定任命): Candidates are nominated by an appointed person, such as President, who has just elected by the delegates. When voting to appoint, as with elections, delegates are allowed to vote for or against the candidate, or to abstain, but by contrast, they can't write in another person after voting against or abstaining.
