Azul, this is a quick thread to inform you there will be three provincial races specific to Belacostă in the August-September 2026 General Elections.
Senate Election
Belacostă will elect a Senator for a full term of approx. 27 months (three Cosăs). The election will be run by the Chancery. Anyone interested in running should register on the official registration thread (https://wittenberg.talossa.com/index.php?topic=5397) by the end of August 13th.
Provincial Council Election + Assembly seat claim
Belacostă will also elect its three-member executive (Provincial Council). This election will, by default, be run by the Chancery unless the province requests otherwise by August 13th. The province should also supply relevant electoral law to the Chancery by that date, as well as anything else that should be printed on the ballot, otherwise the Chancery will interpret provincial law by itself as best it can.
This province also allows its citizens to claim a seat in its provincial assembly. For the last two elections, the Chancery has allowed people to lodge a seat claim right on the electoral ballot, as a matter of facilitating democracy, with provinces then left free to respect or ignore the claims lodged that way. Unless the province requests otherwise by August 13th, the Chancery will again include the seat claim on the ballot in the upcoming election.
