Legislators,

There has been a seconded motion to bring an amendment to the Charter to vote. The debate thread can be found here.

As this is an amendment to a constitutional law, it requires a three-fifths supermajority to pass. The voting period will last 5 days, ending on December 6 at 20:00 UTC. (20:00 in London, 15:00 in New York, 7:00 on the 7th in Sydney)

Please vote by poll if possible. If you cannot vote by poll, post 'Aye', 'Nay' or 'Abstain' in this thread. Please do not vote both by poll and by post. Comments and discussion belong in the debate thread and should be posted there.
