________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The Ballot shall be released on Thursday, and counted on the Thursday, with results being published the next day.
The results will be published as per cent values. the actual number of votes per candidate will be run through a modifier, being t*(1+p)=m where t=total raw votes, p=party approval, and m=modified vote count. (ie. if Blue received 50 votes, 50*1.86=93 so 93 would be their modified vote count.) Additional modifications may be made to make percentages better convert to seat counts and for general realism. Approval ratings are based off a poll where citizens were asked to rate each candidate out of 100.
TG me with any questions about this.
I reserve the right to alter results if they make no sense.
