The Local Council representative will have the power to cast have an additional weighted block vote worth of one-fifth 20% of all non-abstaining votes cast on bills, not including the block vote, giving them a one-sixth share of the total vote, excluding abstentions. The Chair will calculate how many votes are allotted to the representative at the close of each vote, rounding them to the nearest whole number, and will then add the representative’s total votes to the final tally.
By agreement of the outgoing Local Council, the block vote is assigned as follows;
One quarter to however Tsunamy votes One fifth to however DM votes One sixth to however Imki votes One seventh to however Roa votes The remainder to be divided equally between all voting Legislators, except for the Chair, who shall receive no share of the block vote. Should this not be possible to do so with whole votes, then the Local Council instructs that our block vote be split into fractions of votes to best reflect our assignment.
