IF ANY OF THE INFORMATION BELOW IS INCORRECT, PLEASE NOTIFY ME ASAP.Attention Citizens of Talossa!
The rules for the upcoming election are available here: http://www.talossa.ca/files/electionrules.php. These rules are an addition to Talossan law regarding elections, specifically OrgLaw Sections III,IV and V and Lexhatx title B. Be aware that not every detail of the law has been explicitly included in the rules so knowledge of the relevant laws might be useful.
The rules can also be found on the rules page of the database.
This thread serves to announce and inform Parties, Senatorial Candidates, King and Provinces about what needs to happen before the election and as a way for parties and candidates to register.

Dr. Txec dal Nordselvă,
Secretary of State
1. Timetable (unless a month of recess is called in which case the dates shall be adjusted)
13 May 23:59 TST (-5 UTC) - Registration deadline Political Parties.
14 May 23:59 TST - Registration deadline Senatorial Candidates.
15 May, morning - Balloting Day, all citizens receive their ballots.
1 June 19:30 TST - Election deadline, results are announced.
14 June - Certification deadline
30 June - Party fee deadline to sit in the Cosa during the first clark
2. Information for PartiesIn the upcoming election the 200 seats of the 56th Cosa will be elected.
For a party to be able to obtain seats in the 56th Cosa two things need to happen.
1. You need to register with the chancery. This needs to happen at least 24 hours before balloting day!
Registration should include:
* Full Party name
* Party Initials
* 50 word statement
* Party Leader(s)
* Candidate list (this is optional, but if no list is supplied only the party leader is allowed to receive seats (see Lex.b.2.3 for the full rules regarding party lists).
* Party platform URL (optional)
All of the above can be done by posting in this thread, sending me a pm or sending an email to talossachancery@gmail.com. (Information can be updated at any time before the deadline, but the initial registration needs to include at least all the mandatory parts).
Candidate lists and Platform URLs can still be provided/updated the day before balloting day.
The Chancery has a list of approximately 51 citizen email addresses that parties can only contact via The Chancery. The Chancery will send out a maximum of TWO emails per party. If you are a party leader, please email the Chancery at talossachancery@gmail.com EXACTLY what you want sent out. Please allow 48 hours notice. The Chancery will email exactly what you send (no editing). The Chancery will not target specific citizens and will not send out more than one email per party per week.
2. You need to pay a fee. This needs to happen before assigning cosa seats.
The fee is 6¤40 ($10 USD) and needs to be paid to the Bürgermeister of Inland Revenue, Istefan Perþonest. Contact him to find out more about the best way to pay the fee. Parties can appear on the ballot before the fee has been paid.
3. Information regarding referenda statements (King + existing parties)
In addition, parties that currently hold cosa seats may provide a statement of up to 50 words for each referendum either in favour or against the bill.
In addition, the King may provide a 150 word statement for each amendment that was passed after the Ziu overruled an earlier objection.
This can be done by posting in this thread, sending me a pm or sending an email to talossachancery@gmail.com. Please do not wait until the last minute for this as they may have to be manually added to the ballot by the database admin
4. Information for Senatorial CandidatesThree Senate seats will be contested during the upcoming elections: Atatürk (3 cosa terms), Cézembre (3 cosa terms), and Florencia (3 cosa terms)
.
Some of these will be conducted by the provinces themselves. Others will be conducted by the chancery. A list will be included in this post with the most up to date information about which elections are conducted by the chancery.
If elections are conducted by the chancery, the election will use IRV and allow write-in candidates, but candidates do get the opportunity to be listed on the ballot. All you have to do to appear on the ballot is register with the chancery. This can be done by posting in this thread, sending me a pm or sending an email to talossachancery@gmail.com.
In order to appear on the ballot you have to register before the start of the elections.
5. Information for ProvincesThe chancery provides the option for provinces to have their Senate and Assembly elections conducted by the chancery. Additionally in the case of assembly elections, provinces may provide supplementary instructions to the voters (this could be a description of the relevant provincial law, whether to vote for a party or person, a list of provincially registered parties, etc). The chancery requests that provincial representatives supply this information (what elections should be conducted, voting instructions) to the chancery. I will also look at relevant provincial law and post a thread in each province asking for details. If no information is provided by the province (in whatever form) the default option will be to include an option for a provincial assembly vote, but NOT to conduct the senatorial election, as this requires an explicit request from the province.
6. Assembly elections (Could be subject to change until balloting day.) -Pending confirmation by the provinces
Atatürk - Election conducted by the chancery.
Benito - Election conducted by the chancery. Instructions: "For the Benito Legislative Assembly, please vote for a party, or PRESENT if you wish to cast a null ballot."
Cézembre - Election conducted by the province.
Fîovâ - Election for the Prasidïeu conducted by the Chancery. Instructions: "Ranked choice voting, same as for Senators.
Florencia - Election conducted by the chancery. Instructions: "Vote for a party or vote "present""
Maricopa - No election, all citizen can claim a seat in the Cabana.
Maritiimi Maxhestic - No election, all citizens can claim a seat in the Provincial assembly during the election.
Vuode - No election, all citizens can claim a seat in the Estats Xhenerais during the election..
7. Senate elections (Could be subject to change until balloting day.)
Atatürk (3 cosa terms) - Election conducted by the chancery.
Cézembre (3 cosa terms) - Election conducted by the province.
Florencia (3 cosa terms) - Election conducted by the Chancery.

This thread is quite literally the beginning of "election season" so as information needs to be updated I will do so. As for future senate elections, I'm not ready to worry about that. The election schedule for the Senäts can be found here: http://www.talossa.ca/files/electionrules.php
Cézembre, according to the administration guide, will not rely on the Chancery and will conduct the local election.
Also it is my understanding that a senator (our lord warden) was selected during the previous election 55 and thus would continue to serve until at least election 57?

According to my records, the last Cezembre election of a senator was to fill a vacancy.
The last regular election for a Senator from Cezembre was the 53rd Cosa. In fact, Cezembre has had a few different Senators in the past 3 Cosa terms. Therefore it is again time to elect a Senator from Cezembre.

I was appointed by the Regent to fulfill the vacancy for Lord Warden in the midst of session 54. Then there was an election to officially fill the position in session 55, which I thought would then be a regular election -- but perhaps was just viewed by the Civil Service to officially fill the vacancy, rather than accept the determination of the Regent? That election placed
@Ián Tamorán as our Lord Warden, which is the Cézembrean term for Senator to the Ziu.
I will call a session l'Etats to discuss whether Cézembre should conduct yet another election for Lord Warden or just reappoint Ián Tamorán which was the intent of the most rescent election, should this remain unclear at the eyes of the Civil Service.

Article III of the OrgLaw is quite clear.
QuoteSection 7 If a Senator vacates his or her seat before the end of the term, the executive of the province shall appoint a Senator to sit until the next General Election or the next provincial election in that province, whichever is sooner, at which time the people of the province shall elect a Senator to serve the remainder of the term. If the provincial executive fails to appoint a Senator within a fortnight of the vacancy, the King or his Cunstavál shall appoint the Senator. (53RZ18)
.
An election must take place for a senator from Cezembre this cycle. The current senator only serves until the remainder of the term (which is for 3 Cosas). The current term began in the 53rd and ends in the 55th Cosa.
The circle can be squared if Ián Tamorán simply runs unopposed.
The Electoral Commission has approved the election rules for the upcoming General Election. The rules can be found here: http://www.talossa.ca/files/electionrules.php

It looks like some of that I might be able to update but I can't do it until the current Clark is finished. It will all be done in time before the election. Plus, I don't have any declared candidates for the Senate and only one party partially registered at this time.
If reforms currently before Fiova's General Assembly pass, then at this election we would like the Chancery to conduct a STV election for three (3) members of our executive committee, the Praisideu. The Fiova Chancery will collect nominations and count the votes under our own law; all we would like the National Chancery to do is to offer a ballot identical to the ballot for Senators, that is, allow Fiovans to create a ranked preference list of any citizen of our Province. We can do everything else.

I will look into this and see if is something that can be done.
Just to confirm from Atatürk, as the Başbakan of Atatürk, I confirm that we request the Chancery to conduct our elections.
In case it was not clarified in previous discussion, Cézembre will conduct all elections pertaining to any offices related to Cézembre at the local level.
We have made requests for subdirectory boards on Wittenberg but are unclear if that can or will be accomplished prior to the election timeframe .
I would like to register the following party:
Name: The Independent Monarchist
Initials: DIEN
50 Words or less: If you support a true, independent voice, feel free to vote for me, Munditenens DIEN Tresplet. I promise not to miss a vote.
Party Leader: Munditenens Tresplet
Cosa list: Refused.
In case anyone's asking: Dien's split from the Free Democrats was long-expected and is amicable, and we all wish him the best and hope for future cooperation on non-constitutional issues. I figured that with the LCC pledging neutrality an explicit anti-Compromise, pro-Monarchy party would stand; I must admit to being surprised as to who started it :D
As of now, I only have two parties that have registered with the Chancery.
Parti Tafialistà (PT)
The Independent Monarchist (DIEN)
I have two others that have provided SOME information but no official notification. Also, to date, no party has paid registration fees or provided a Cosa list.

The King has always the perogative to conduct his affairs as he chooses. It matters not if the choice is to be away for a day, a year, or a decade. Such is the nature of a Kingdom - other forms of government have other mechanisms of proscribed limitations on freedom of action.

Come off it, va ciovec, your secessionism was so obvious that the Regent himself - with your King assenting - stepped in to tell you to cut it out (https://wittenberg.talossa.com/index.php?topic=780.0) :D
There's certainly an argument to be made that the monarchic principle is more important than Talossa itself as a country - but be honest that you're making it.
QuoteThe King has always the perogative to conduct his affairs as he chooses.
I admire your commitment to the dominance/submsision lifestyle, but keep it between consenting partners, of which I am not one.

I have updated your party Cosa list and added you to the ballot for Florencia.
Thanks to Dame Miestra for informing me of this option that I hadn't thought of. If you are a party leader, I will send out up to TWO emails from The Chancery for you. You will need to give me 48 hours notice in case I'm busy in my regular life. I will also add this information to the published election rules. Please email me EXACTLY what you want sent out to talossachancery@gmail.com. Whatever you email me is precisely what I will send (no editing!).
Updated rule:
QuoteThe Chancery has a list of approximately 51 citizen email addresses that parties can only contact via The Chancery. The Chancery will send out a maximum of TWO emails per party. If you are a party leader, please email the Chancery at talossachancery@gmail.com EXACTLY what you want sent out. Please allow 48 hours notice. The Chancery will email exactly what you send (no editing). The Chancery will not target specific citizens and will not send out more than one email per party per week.

I used the name presented in TalossaNET in https://talossa.net/members/xpb/activity/453/ of Dixet
I am under the impression they are one and the same, and in that forum I asked for Dixet/Dixhet to create an account in these forums. That citizen likely would have been informed of the party information by the requested Chancery email communication sent Sat, May 8 as they are not yet registered here on wittenberg.
Perhaps there is someone in the administration of both forums who can confirm that the identity is the same as that of https://www.talossa.ca/files/cit.php?cit=471 - for now I accept this in good faith until any other information would be presented. There is no additional public facing information on TalossaNET in the profile.
I mean, people misspelling Talossan words and names, be that their own or other people's, happens all the time. I don't think a background check is necessary.

I'm simply doing my due diligence. The name is spelled the way I presented it in the Chancery database. I cannot imagine there is someone else with a similar enough name but I also want the information to be correct on the official ballot. Sheesh.

Just a check as the name is not in current Witt and was not active on old Witt after 2015. Voted in 55 but database doesn't list any prior votes. TalossaNET has less restrictions to join. It will be great if Fira is becoming more active.

I have established email contact with Dix(h)et
Hello everyone,
So my name should be Dixhet Fira but since I was inactive for quite some time, I used the wrong spelling :-\
No worries!
I am sure some of fine folks in the civil service can assist in matching or adjusting your account to that of the database at http://www.talossa.ca/
Your name is spelled correctly in the Chancery records.
Do voters need to put their PSC on their Witt vote? I saw the note that it shouldn't be revealed, but the rules for casting a ballot say that it needs to be included.
I removed the PSC after I verified it in the database simply to prevent shenanigans. Posting it is fine but I don't need it there forever and I'd like to protect your account.
I also don't really need the PSC on a public forum but I can understand why someone would want to prove they are voting legitimately.
Looks like I'm currently the only Maritiimian to have voted. 'ts a bit of a letdown, really.
Tangentially related: The Organic Law only states that after the election is over a final tally is published, but would it be possible to publish the results by province as well when the election is over? Or failing that, announcing which two parties got the most votes and how many? I know that the election has just started two days ago so asking right now is too early, but the province-based results would be very handy for some of my electoral math experiments.
@Dr. Txec Róibeard dal Nordselvă, Esq., O.SPM, SMM I see you are removing PSCs from Witt ballots. The following rule needs updated in the election thread:
"4 ) Voters will be able to vote on Wittenberg publicly A single vote thread will be created for casting votes on Wittenberg. If you have received your vote code (PSC), you are requested to cast your vote in that thread WITH your PSC."

Thanks for pointing this out. Much of the overall rules were copy/pasted from previous elections. There is nothing wrong with using the PSC as a new one is generated with each election. I just feel it is useful if I remove the PSC after verifying for security.

I agree, I just wanted to make sure I was following the rules. Given we use the PSC to reset passwords on the database, I think it's probably best if this wasn't a rule to begin with...if you as SoS needed more verification of someone voting on Witt for some reason, you could request the PSC by PM.

I just updated the posted rule. Voters can PM me their PSC if they wish or if I need to further verify.
Just barely got my vote in-- as per the notification, I found it in my spam file.
I am informed by citizen B. Higgs of Fiova, who is an IT professional, that there is a problem with SSL injection (or something like that?) with the automated Chancery emails, which gets them trashed by Gmail accounts in particular. I see that a majority of those who haven't voted yet have Gmail accounts. It may well be that Gmail spam detection has been "souped up" since the last election; if so, this means that bugs in the National Database (of great venerability) have gotten to the point where they are actively sabotaging Talossan democracy.
If I am part of the next Government, bringing the database into "present time" technically speaking, and integrating it with the National Webspace, will be a matter of very great importance.
(Of course, I have an alternative theory on turnout, and that is that the proliferation of barely-distinguishable centrist parties is just confusing less-active voters. Certainly the most clearly ideologically defined parties, the Free Dems and Balançéu, don't seem to be having turnout problems.)
I have sent reminders from the Chancery's regular email as well to remind voters of the election and to tell them to check spam if they didn't receive a ballot. I'm doing my level best despite the technical issues to get voters the information they need.

Could I get more information? If I do, I might be able to fix it quickly.
And for the record, my wife, daugther and I all have gmail accounts and we got our ballots fine.
Mine went to spam, just like last time.
I think that It is possible that voters are simply too confused to vote and choose an option, although that strikes me as an optimistic assessment that also has the benefit of completely excusing the incumbent Government from any responsibility. But on the other hand, it might be true! There are two joke parties and not a lot of information about most of them. It seems more likely that people have just become less interested in the country for any number of possible reasons, though.
