Quote from: Mximo Malt on August 04, 2026, 12:15:25 AMI will not run for re-election, and IDT is dissolved.

I'm sorry to hear you won't be taking part in the election. The IDT party forum will be archived in a week, at the end of the registration period.

Done.

I forgot to ask, Mic'haglh: which of the two names do you want on the ballot as the primary one? I provisionally set the Talossan version as the primary/official one like in previous elections, but this is up to you. (Both versions will be on the ballot, either way)

Done!

Quote from: Glüc on July 31, 2026, 01:59:16 PMMany thanks to Sir Lüc, who helped me set up a draft for the next groups, because I knew Id be away from my laptop

No worries, thank you for telling that the draft function wasn't actually available to everyone!

In my role as Consul, I of course endorse the request to let the Chancery keep conducting our provincial elections.

Regarding undervoting, I believe the last ballot already specified "up to" three people, instead of exactly three. As per the activity requirement, I will add a text to that effect to the ballot.

Will do!

Quote from: Sir Lüc on August 01, 2026, 06:28:07 AMIs open now and will remain open until November 13th. Registration can be done by posting in this thread, by PM to me, or by email to the Chancery. No additional information is necessary but you will need to be a citizen of the province whose seat you seek to represent.

Luc, a quick check here that you meant August 13th?

Eeh, yes, sorry. Will correct asap.

Quote from: Tric'hard Lenxheir on August 01, 2026, 07:19:16 AMI would like to run for the Senate seat in Vuode as an independent if that is allowed

Yes! There are no party labels for Senate elections, although Senators are then free to affiliate with whatever party they choose, including no party at all; so that is absolutely allowed.

Azul, this is a quick thread to inform you that there will be a Senate election for Vuode's seat, as well as the customary States-General seat claim, in the August-September 2026 General Elections.

Senate Election

Vuode 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 by the end of August 13th.

States-General seat claim

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.

Azul, this is a quick thread to inform you that there will be a Senate election for M-M's seat, as well as the customary Assembly seat claim, in the August-September 2026 General Elections.

Senate Election

M-M will elect a Senator for a full term of approx. 18 months (two Cosăs). The election will be run by the Chancery. Anyone interested in running should register on the official registration thread by the end of August 13th.

Assembly seat claim

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.

Azul, this is a quick thread to confirm details about the single provincial race specific to Florenciă in the August-September 2026 General Elections.

Florenciă will elect its unicameral provincial assembly, the Nimlet. This election will, by default, be run by the Chancery unless the province requests otherwise by August 13th. Florenciă 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.

Azul, this is a quick thread to inform you there will be no races specific to Maricopa in the August-September 2026 General Elections, except for the seat claim in the Cabana.

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.

Azul, this is a quick thread to confirm details about the single provincial race specific to Fiovă in the August-September 2026 General Elections.

Fiovă will elect its three-member executive (the Praisidïeu). This election will, by default, be run by the Chancery unless the province requests otherwise by August 13th. Fiovă 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.

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 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.

Attention: New mailer rules

With the passage of 62RZ28, the Data Protection Act, the rules governing mailers have changed. The changes are two:

• Mailers can only be sent by fully registered parties: this entails both registering here with at least the bare minimum info (name, 50-words, leader, provisional Cosă list; see above), AND paying the USD10 registration fee to the Treasury. In case the Treasury is unresponsive, I will accept proper receipts sent to me in private as provisional proof of payment.
• Once you have fully registered, you can send up to three mailers: one between now and voting opening on August 15th, and two, at least a week apart from each other, in the actual voting period (15th-1st)

Other rules remain the same: send mailers to talossachancery at gmail, and I will forward them unedited (except if you forgot to sign it, and except for the "you may unsubscribe at this link" preamble) within a day.
