Well, I submitted my app. Do I just vote on laws now and do whatever is sensible (or otherwise?) ?

Sensible or otherwise is an excellent way to describe what you can do, yes. No laws are at vote at the moment because we're trying to confirm judicial nominees (I think). We've also just had a massive natural disaster; follow the link posted just at the end of the previous page.

Ah, how nice - a natural disaster as well as a political restructure.

Yeah, impeachment is very clearly an overreaction, but it's an IC overreaction.

Sorry, but we waited long enough. No senior CU figures were doing anything, people were talking about the RP being dead, and we had a natural disaster that needed to be solved. I'm not being a dick, I'm trying to keep Fernaõ running.

Boy, does it seem like it. I come back to NS under a fresh new nation and it's almost like the apocalypse broke out in NSG. The senate has gotten smaller and politics has fresh new faces, no one I truly recognize from back a year or so ago.

Yeah, I joined during Elizia, and I was looking through some old Aurentina and Calaverde threads. I saw that some parties had over one hundred members and I was like DANG! I can't imagine the Senate being that big.

The 10 day election period begins now, details below.

The Constitution says a few things about elections.

Article 126 says the following:
Article CXXVI - Election of the President
The President shall be elected in a two round first-past-the-post system held over the course of ten days.
Each round of voting shall last three (3) days, with a two (2) day period in between the rounds, and a two (2) day period before the first round to allow for registration of presidential tickets.
Presidential tickets must register with the Electoral Commission prior to the first round of voting to be included on the ballot.
During the first round of voting, voters shall vote for one ticket, with the two tickets who receive the most votes advancing to the second round. Voters will again vote for one ticket, with the recipient of the most votes being elected President.
Senatorial elections during Presidential elections shall coincide with the first round of voting.
Voters may write in candidates.


We have the following schedule, starting right now.

July 12: Candidate registration opens. Register yourself by stating your candidacy in the Lobby, including whether you have the support of a party. You must state whether you have a running mate as well.
July 14: Candidate registration closes. First round of voting opens. There will be a separate thread for this.
July 17: First round of voting closes. Campaigning period begins.
July 19: Campaigning period ends. Second round of voting opens. There will be a new thread for this.
July 22: Second round of voting closes. We have a President.
