Local Council Election Campaigns Picking up Pace

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.

Editor's note: Seraph is standing election in the LC election. I (Omega) intend to keep SPN as unbiased as possible and have therefore screened this for any bias. It has passed my standards.

Local Council Election Underway

As of 20:00 EDT last night (01:00 GMT this morning), the poll for the Local Council election has opened and all of the South Pacific’s World Assembly members may now vote for the candidate they would like to see join the Local Council. The new Council will consist of the three nations who have come out on top when voting concludes at 20:00 EDT on Tuesday 28th June.

At the time of writing, Belschaft is the frontrunner with six votes, Erinor/Seraph is in second place with four votes and Pencil Sharpeners 2 is third with three votes. The Derpy Democratic Republic of Herp/Gordon Freeman has two votes, The Solar System Scope, Punchwood, Curlyhoward and Zadiner/Zak6858 all have one vote each and Sporaltryus/Cathalea, Aramanchovia and Sepia Island have yet to receive any votes. There have been three abstentions.

There are hundreds of WA nations in the South Pacific, so there is every possibility of the results being shaken up over the next three days. If you want to vote, make sure that you are a WA member and that you’ve read all the campaigns found here. As each nation may only place one vote, it may become necessary for nations to vote for a candidate they would like to see on the Council who is lagging behind, rather than a popular frontrunner.

Voting concludes on Tuesday evening (EDT).

Breaking: sources within the High Court inform us we can expect a answer on the most recent Legal Question facing the court. The question was laid out in two parts by Belschaft and will have ramifications over what powers the cabinet has. We will have a special SOR out this weekend over the new ruling. Stay tuned for more
