I propose we repeal article 6.2 of the Election Act

In 2017 the Assembly repealed Article 5 regulating of Local Council Elections, however it missed this point in the following section of the Act.

Due to this oversight the High Court has struck down the portion of the Local Council passed game side election act dealing with vacancies in office. Repealing this section will allow the Local Council to again address the issue of LC vacancies in its own regulations.

Quote:6. Vacancies of Office

(1) A special election will be held for vacancies arising within the Cabinet, if more than half of the term remains. If less than half of the term remains, or the position is vacant due to nobody running in its election, the Cabinet may appoint a replacement until the next regularly scheduled election.

(2) A special election will be held for vacancies arising within the Local Council, if more than half of the term remains. If less than half of the term remains, or the position is vacant due to nobody running in its election, the Delegate may appoint a replacement until the next regularly scheduled election.

(3) (2) Should the office of Delegate become vacant, the next person in the line of succession will become interim Delegate until the next regularly scheduled election. If no person qualifies for the office, then a special election will be held.

Your excellent brief to the High Court (https://tspforums.xyz/thread-8404-post-2...#pid203203) pointed out the oversight this repeal seeks to correct.

That's determined by the Chair of the Assembly though if our CoA does end up determining that it does need gameside signoff, I doubt there would be much opposition, since this is a pretty minor cleanup. And it's not like there's any massive urgency to rush anything along, since nominations just opened for LC, so it's doubtful there would be any vacancy issues immediately following the elections.
