HIGH COURT OF THE SOUTH PACIFIC
CASE SUBMISSION

---

I, maluhia, respectfully submit the following case for consideration by the High Court. I hereby state that the information within this submission is true to the best of my knowledge, and that there is no malicious intent or vexatious nature to it. I further promise to make myself available to any future questions or request from the Court in order to ensure that this case is fairly considered.

REFERENCE NAME
Legality of Running for the Local Council

ARGUMENT
Your honor,

I present to you yet another legal question. This one, concerning about the Local Council Elections Act (LCEA). LCEA mainly serves as a governmental act "detailing elections for the Local Council." However, this legal question will be focusing on Article II, Candidate Eligibility. Under Section I of the article, it states that, "Candidates must be members of the South Pacific with a Residency of at least 120 by the beginning of the nominations period." However, there are multiple of those among current TSP residents who are vying to become our region's next Local Councilors (LCs), though will maintain a high enough residency count in order to become the Councilor. Now, in the situation that a candidate who was planning to run for LC has been in TSP for most of their days, however, took a minute-long stint at another region after accidentally pressing the "Join x_region" button? This was before the either major or minor update. Would this person still be allowed to run for the LC?

I appreciate your work you due for this region.



REQUEST
Does Article 2, Section 1 of the Local Council Elections Act allow those who failed the eligibility process for residency, however, it was a flaw and before an update, to run for Local Councilor?

This is the second time in a row that you submit a legal question only to withdraw it shortly after. Please try to avoid doing this in the future. If you are unsure if your concern warrants a legal question I would suggest consulting with others before submitting.
