[Kannap]

[Othelos]

I think in the second round abstentions shouldn't be counted.

Edit: actually abstentions in elections/legislative votes shouldn't be counted at all either, because they're actually simply nay votes since it increases the number of votes.

[Greater Pokarnia]

I think in the second round abstentions shouldn't be counted.

Edit: actually abstentions in elections/legislative votes shouldn't be counted at all either, because they're actually simply nay votes since it increases the number of votes.

To be fair, nobody actually said "I abstain". The abstentions are from people who voted for candidates that later dropped out.

[Aquitayne]

I, Senator Aquitayne, cast my vote for Aeken as the president of our nation.

[Gallup]

I JUST HAD THE BEST IDEA! The top two candidates can have a presidential debate with questions submitted by us senators!

*1 vote for Quirina now in Limbo

[Britcan]

I JUST HAD THE BEST IDEA! The top two candidates can have a presidential debate with questions submitted by us senators!

If they are on at the same time and both willing to participate then sure.

[Mollary]

I, Senator Mollary, cast my vote for Aeken as the president of our nation.

[Yankee Empire]

Sounds like a cool idea.

[Glasgia]

Sounds like a cool idea.

If we get the two proggressing candidates and a debate chair to agree upon a time, then we could submit questions to the debate chair and have them presented by him.

[Confederate People of the United States]

I vote for Regnum Dominae

[Zweite Alaje]

I JUST HAD THE BEST IDEA! The top two candidates can have a presidential debate with questions submitted by us senators!

If they are on at the same time and both willing to participate then sure.

We'd have to wait for the end if the first round though. The second place slot isn't definite yet.

Nope.

I didn't count people's votes if they voted for someone that dropped out (I notified, them, though). Any abstentions are people who said they were abstaining.

Zweite Alaje: 34 (22.1%)
Regnum Dominae: 29 (18.8%)

FYI: Yesterday I suddenly got a severe illness, I am in the process of recovering and I probably won't be on much at all for a day or two.
