Poll: POLL: SHOULD THE FOLLOWING AMENDMENT BE PASSED?

Quebecshire · 07-23-2021, 08:56 PM

Legislators of the South Pacific,

There has been a seconded motion to bring an Amendment to the "Elections Act" to vote. The debate thread can be found here.

As this is a constitutional law, it requires a supermajority (greater than three-fifths) to pass. The voting period will last 5 days, ending on July 29th at 01:00 UTC (02:00 in London, 21:00 (on July 28th) in New York, 11:00 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 discussions belong in the debate thread and should be posted there.

a. A Dispatch containing the campaigns of all candidates will be created to aid voters in their choice.
b. Members of the South Pacific Special Forces who are on deployment for the whole duration of the regional poll at the conclusion of the regional poll are eligible to cast a vote. The Minister of Defense shall provide a list of deployed personnel to the Election Commissioner. Members on the list who send the Commissioner their vote through a telegram and a public post on the Regional Message Board which tags the Election Commissioner and notes who their vote goes towards shall have it added to the final tally.
c. The candidate who wins a majority of the votes will be declared the Delegate-elect.
d. If no candidate wins a majority of votes, the top two candidates will be placed in a runoff election, mimicking the previous round of voting.

That seems like a reasonable modification of our election laws to make allowances for SPSF members. I am voting in favor.
