all sapient persons who have completed the nine years of lower school which began at age three,
(or under such circumstance as this might have not been possible, can be verified to have the life experience equivalent),
may participate in the election of their local councils, (and may likewise be elected to serve on them)

local councils elect their regional councils, and so on, to the national level which has no direct impact on individual lives save to promote infrastructure and protect the natural and constructed environments and their freedoms to relocate as ever they may wish.

further many issues not concerning the appointment of personalities are put to popular plebicite vote.
indeed these often prove of more interest to the population generally then the personalities of persons chosen to deliberate on their behalf.

all bans on the mass production, purchase, sale or importation of any article or substance require a 2/3rds majority of the entire population.

these conditions have existed the same for as long as cameroi as a nation has existed.
