RE: [DISCUSSION] Election Commision - Farengeto - 10-19-2018 I'm wary of using corruption as a reason for removal since that's the name of a criminal charge. We've had enough arguments when overlapping names are used previously. Maybe revise the wording of that section? RE: [DISCUSSION] Election Commision - Amerion - 10-20-2018 I would support striking that word entirely. Removal by the Assembly for abuse of power seems sufficient to me. What do you think? RE: [DISCUSSION] Election Commision - Roavin - 10-23-2018 Or just removal by the assembly by a vote. Does the assembly need a reason? RE: [DISCUSSION] Election Commision - Nakari - 10-24-2018 Perhaps the Assembly could remove for any reason, and the CRS could remove for proof of abuse of power/corruption as well as for inactivity or ineligibility (or perhaps start an expedited removal vote)? I'm thinking specifically of urgent situations where waiting for the Assembly to debate and vote is too long, and elections are in immediate risk. RE: [DISCUSSION] Election Commision - Pronoun - 10-24-2018 It seems to me that giving the Assembly the power to remove the Commissioner for any reason — or, rather, without a reason — would render the system too unsubstantial factors or minor disagreements that might serve to delay or impede the election but do not amount to an abuse of power or corruption. To address the possibility that the Commissioner is impeding the election due to inactivity, I would be more inclined to support something similar to the following: Quote:1. Election Commission[…] My mind's not really made up on this though, so feel free to convince me otherwise. RE: [DISCUSSION] Election Commision - Amerion - 11-16-2018 Bumping this ... Edit: This is what the proposed changes currently look like: Edit: Act to be amended: Elections Act. Relevant Articles and Sections: Article 1 (Election Commission) and Article 2 (Electoral System). Article 1 after amendment Wrote:1. Election Commission Quote:2. Electoral System RE: [DISCUSSION] Election Commision - Imperial Frost Federation - 11-19-2018 I think we should also include an amendment to include Local council elections under the formal jurisdiction of the EC since the elections act doesn’t extend gameside RE: [DISCUSSION] Election Commision - Amerion - 11-20-2018 (11-19-2018, 08:12 PM)Imperial Frost Federation Wrote: I think we should also include an amendment to include Local council elections under the formal jurisdiction of the EC since the elections act doesn’t extend gameside Would it not be more appropriate for the Local Council to pass a law to make for such an allowance, or perhaps, amend what it currently has?

However, since the groundwork for the EC is already in the Elections Act, I think it would be better to expand the authority of the Election Commission to extend game side since they are essentially appointed by the CRS or court RE: [DISCUSSION] Election Commision - Rebeltopia - 11-20-2018 It would have to be voted gameside, anyway... |
