The second round of TSP’s June election season has been running for over a week and the candidates for the Local Council election are making their voices heard on the Regional Message Board (RMB) with their campaigns. Nominations began at 20:00 EDT on the Wednesday 15th June and ran until the evening of the 18th.  Since then the official candidates have been writing up their campaign promises and sharing them with fellow TSP nations on the RMB, although not all of the official candidates have yet submitted a campaign to the Electoral Commission consisting of [nation=short]Feirmont[/nation] and [nation=short]Farengeto[/nation].

The campaigning has been very good-natured so far, with several candidates highlighting their competitor’s campaign posts alongside their own and, in at least one case, even helping to write one.  With some candidates having remained silent, however, and campaign posting kept to a minimum, there isn’t much of an electoral buzz to be found on the RMB.  Even with less than a day until voting commences, there is still plenty of time for the atmosphere to change.

The list of official candidates is as follows:

Sporaltryus/Cathalea, Belschaft, The Solar System Scope, Pencil Sharpeners 2, The Derpy Democratic Republic of Herp/Gordon Freeman, Aramanchovia, Erinor/Seraph, Curlyhoward, Punchwood, Zadiner/Zak6858 , Sepia Island.

You can read the campaign posts of those who have so far submitted one by reading [nation=short]Feirmont[/nation]’s excellent dispatch.  Voting will commence via a poll on the South Pacific main page at 20:00 EDT on Saturday 25th June.
