Esteemed members of the General Assembly.

Eections for a three-person Praisidïeu will be held at the same time as every Cosa election. This election will run from June 15th to July 1st, 2024 (in just over a month).

Under the Fiôván Elections and Referendums Law (ERL), Title I Section 3, as Secretary of State I am required to submit to the General Assembly the rules by which I will carry out this election.

Therefore, I hereby declare that the rules for the upcoming election of the Praisidïeu will be as follows:

1. Nominations for the Praisidïeu (Title III Sections 1-2) will open on May 9, 2024 and will close 10 days week after that, on January 19.
Under Title III Section 2.1, such a nomination includes the candidate's full name; their party affiliation (if any); and a statement, no longer than fifty words, of the candidate's aims and objectives (optional).
Please make these nominations in this thread, or by personal communication with myself.
2. The period between close of nominations and start of voting (Title III Section 4) will therefore be one week, as determined by the Chancery's timetable for the national elections.
3. the actual process of voting and the production of the "ballot paper" (Title II Section 2) will be delegated to the National Chancery, whom I have asked to use the same voting mechanism as used for Senäts elections. This will allow "write-in" candidates (Title III, Section 5.3.1): the voters may give any citizen, not just the officially nominated candidates, a preference.
4. Once the Chancery reports all the votes, I will count them using the OpaVote website using "ERS97 STV" rules. I certify that this will provide a result as close as makes no difference to that set out in our law. (Title V, Section 12).



LETS GO FIOVA!

Quote from: Baron Alexandreu Davinescu on May 01, 2024, 06:39:47 AMJust an update: still waiting on the cards to return from the printer.  When they ship, I'll post an update.

Any progress?

No. I'm still waiting on the cards. There is nothing I can do to speed things up. We do not pay a premium for fast processing, since I just want to keep the price as low as possible. As soon as I get them, I'll post an update.

How long on average does it take for a batch of cards to be printed though?
(Please excuse me being so impatient, I just really want something to put in me wallet.)

They're a great thing to show your friends.

What friends?

Well, I don't really have an average, but my understanding is that typically it takes a few days for the order to be processed into their queue, and then somewhere between two or three weeks before they're produced, and then a few days in the mail.  After that, it will take me somewhere between a week or two to get them out in the mail.  (I could hypothetically do it in a day, but I'm just being realistic here since I have a full-time job and three small children and I help lead a group of political activists, outside of Talossa.)

When I get a shipping notification, I will let you know.  I understand the enthusiasm -- these cards are indeed really cool, and they look and feel very professional.  They're a great thing to show your friends.

Please remember that this is a free service of which the Baron is paying for out of his own pocket. Let's show some grace here.
