Alright, these were pretty straight-forward, at least compared to the forecoming LPA.

Elections act:

Quote:5. Office of the Chair

(1) Eight days before the end of a Chair's term, the Assembly will convene to elect the Chair of the Assembly. Not sure about the 8 days rule.
a. Any legislator wishing to run for Chair may declare their candidacy, and the Assembly will debate the merits of their platform.
b. The campaign and debate period will last 5 days, after which the Assembly will vote for 3 days.

a. Deputies and other subsidiaries will form the ballot of candidates for voting.
b. The campaign and debate period will last a total of 3 days, after which the Assembly will vote for 3 days.

c. The sole winner, as decided using Approval Voting, will be declared Chair of the Assembly by the Election Commissioner.

(2) The term for the incoming Chair will begin immediately following the conclusion of the election.

6. Vacancies of Office

(...)
(3) If a Chair is no longer in office prior to the election of a new Chair, a deputy appointed by the outgoing Chair will serve as Acting Chair to exercise all powers and responsibilities of the office of the Chair, subject to all regulations and restrictions imposed upon the Chair by law. In the event that more than one deputy was appointed, the most senior deputy according to the order of appointment and availability will serve as Acting Chair. In the event that no deputy was appointed or is available, the Cabinet will designate a legislator to serve as Acting Chair. The Delegate will designate one legislator to serve as Acting Chair.



Legislator Committee Act:

Quote:3. Legislator Checks

(1) Continued legislator status requires active membership and good behaviour. (Already stated in the Charter).

(...)

(2) A legislator fails the voting requirement if they are absent for more than half of all votes finished in the previous calendar month, if a minimum of two votes occurred. Legislators who have an approved leave of absence from the Chair shall not be considered absent for votes in the given time frame. Open to suggestions on this.

(3) The Chair of the Assembly may order the Legislator Committee to suspend legislator privileges for disruptive members. Frequent suspensions may be grounds for ineligibility, if found appropriate in a fair trial by the High Court. losing legislator status. This may be brought to court by the expelled legislator only afterwards.
