A linked post (even in your party thread) is better evidence than a TG screenshot and takes the same amount of time to set up.

To add on that: The Senate Administration will not accept telegram-authorised or ex post facto proxy votes.


So no proxy voting?

You can proxy vote, just use a post instead of a telegram and make sure you give permission for someone to proxy vote before they proxy vote for you.

EDIT: So when do we start the election?

Blank votes COUNT towards the percentage meaning elections would have to be redone if neither candidate gets a majority in the second round, abstaining is different from blank ballots.

Only a victory is needed in the second round. Not a majority.

Even more reason they shouldnt be allowed. Either vote for a candidate or dont vote. Its really just screwing with the system prolonging the vote needlessly....
