Dignified Legislators,

Prime Minister Nakari has tendered their resignation. It is your duty to elect a new Prime Minister.


Election Schedule

In accordance with the Elections Act[1];

The Nomination Period will commence at 20:00 on the 15th of August and will conclude at 19:00 on the 21st of August.

The Campaigning Period will commence at 20:00 on the 18th of August and will conclude at 19:00 on the 25th of August.

The Voting Period will commence at 20:00 on the 25th of August and will conclude at 19:00 on the 27th of August.

[Please be advised that all stated times are in Eastern Daylight Time (EDT)]

Election Guidelines

To be eligible for ballot access in this election you must;

1. Be a Legislator as of 20:00 on the 15th of August.
2. Post a campaign in this sub-forum. This campaign must "prominently include a truthful declaration of all potential conflicts of interest the candidate may have within and outside of the South Pacific".

You may also nominate other Legislators for the office. Nominations or the acceptance of such have no official standing; only posting a campaign thread in the designated sub-forum counts for formal candidature declaration purposes.

Voting will be conducted using Instant Runoff Voting (IRV) (Optional Preferential Voting) where voters may vote for one or multiple candidates in descending order of preference.

The Vote Collector forum account will be used to receive private ballots. Instructions detailing the required format for private ballots will be issued when the voting period commences.

Any queries or questions should be made in this thread.

——————————

[1] Elections Act, Article 4. Offices of the Cabinet, stipulates:
'(1) On the first of every February, June and October, the Assembly will convene to elect the Prime Minister and the Cabinet.
a. For the first 6 days of the election period, legislators may declare their candidacy for only one position.
b. After 3 days, a campaign period of one week will start, where candidates may campaign and the Assembly will debate the merits of their platforms.
c. After the week-long campaign period, a voting period of 3 days will start. Legislators will cast their ballots for each position. Legislators may choose to abstain from voting on any or all positions.'

I also motion to wave mandatory debate time and motion to vote making Prarie the only candidate on the ballot resulting in a unanimous election of Prarie into the Prime Minister role.
