I will vote in a little bit, but let's get this going
Nominations for Mencei have begun as of now: Saturday 26 April 2025
GV, Acting Mencei
I think it will be very helpful for me to post the full Standing Rule 2.3, which governs the election of a new Mençei, so Senators may be mindful of its provisions:
QuoteThe Acting Mençei shall allow for nominations to be lodged for a period of at least a week from the beginning of a term.
Should a Senator receive nominations from a majority of Senators, the nomination period shall end and the Senator be considered duly elected; otherwise, a ballot shall be held using Instant Runoff Voting.
Seniority shall resolve any ties that may occur during any stage of elimination.
Lastly, it appears that the Senators for Cézembre and Maricopa have lodged their nominations once the process was restarted, while the Senators for Fiovă and Florenciă had lodged nominations earlier and may want to restate them.
RESTATEMENT OF NOMINATION: Jerome Davinescu
GV WITHDRAWS from the contest for Mencei, 61st Cosâ
So in this thread, I nominate myself for Mençei - and vote for me to avoid a zero score.
