I missed the opening date for voting. I hereby open voting for Premieir. Voting will remain open for one week and will close at 7:00 PM TST on 4/20/22.
I vote for myself as Premieir of Maricopa.
I vote for myself.
A few more days of voting, and we have a tie!
Hopefully this is the right place to ask this, but as the relative newcomer I feel obliged to ask, what exactly does the Premier do?
And follow up question, as candidates for Premier, what do you feel qualifies you for the office?
I ask because I intend to vote, and it looks like my vote may be the tie-breaker, but I have no idea where to start.

The Premieir is the titular chief executive of Maricopa. The only real powers the office has is that of opening the Cabana (our legislature to which ANY Maricopan can claim a seat), installing new members to our exclusive Order of Maricopa (our way of honoring our citizens), and chairing any session of the Cabana where legislation is presented.
I am a candidate for Premieir as a long-standing member of the Cabana. I created the Order of Maricopa several years ago, and have sponsored some legislation (though we rarely do much). I believe I am a good candidate because of my high profile in Talossa. I can (and do try to) bring prestige to our little province. As I am ineligible to directly affect national politics as the Secretary of State, and prior to that as a Justice (emeritus) of the Uppermost Cort. I've held numerous other posts nationally prior to that, including Seneschal.
I believe in Maricopa. Our province, the hottest spot north of Havana, our Cabana, and our open style of politics is almost unique among the provinces. We don't care a whit about party politics, and we do try to have some fun in our own "Maricopan" way!
Oh, and one more thing. The election for Premieir ends tomorrow, so your vote would be appreciated. We've never had a tie, as far as I can remember, so all it would do (I believe) is trigger a new election.
TODAY is the last day to vote for Premieir of Maricopa. Cabana members
@Carlüs Éovart Vilaçafat and
@Danihel Txechescu have not yet voted!
I cast my vote for Dr. Txec Róibeard dal Nordselvă
I'll vote for BenArd this time around.

Your vote came three hours and 44 minutes after voting closed.
2 votes were cast for Txec dal Nordselva, and 1 vote was cast for Beneditsch Ardpresteir.
1 additional vote was cast for Beneditsch Ardpresteir, but it came 2 hours and 44 minutes after the voting deadline, so that vote is not being counted.
Txec dal Nordselva is elected as Premieir of Maricopa for the 57th Cosa.

Request the existing Premier to cancel the candidature of a candidate who was self-promoting on the voting thread. After all it's akin to Ballots with Ads of a particular candidate

He wasn't self promoting, he was answering the election related question of a voter. A question that was not answered by any other candidate before the close of the polls. If being accused of self-promotion was the reason for the other's silence, it was never made known, nor was a more appropriate place to ask such a question ever provided.
With this reasoning I request the current Premier to let the outcome of the election stand.
Answering a question isn't self-promotion. It wasn't unsolicited, and any other candidate could have answered. We have very few formal rules in Maricopa, so if you don't like something, feel free to propose legislation in the Cleivi.
