WHEREAS it has been more than a fortnight since @Marcüs Causch first posted on Wittenberg, following his introduction to the citizens of the Kingdom by officers of the Immigration Ministry, and

WHEREAS I don't normally issue petitions, because I would be petitioning myself, but

WHEREAS Marcüs seems like the kind of guy we should encourage to stick around, and also

WHEREAS I have a bone to pick with copy-pasted petitions and a point to prove, so

ANYWAY, where was I going with this?,

WHEREAS Marcüs has, in that time, demonstrated an active, genuine, and continuing interest in Talossan life, language and culture, and

WHEREAS the above point is proven by, for example, him adopting a Talossan name so early, volunteering to serve as Clerk of Courts, and being pretty active on multiple threads here on Wittenberg, and

WHEREAS Marcüs wants to be a citizen and he'd make a good one, and

WHEREAS see? it took me five minutes to write an original and honest petition!, so

THEREFORE I, Sir Lüc da Schir, a citizen of good standing of the province of Belacostă and of the Kingdom of Talossa, do hereby petition the Chancery to issue a grant of citizenship to Prospective Citizen Marcüs Causch, as specified by law.

The call for bills for the March 2026 Clark (the third of the 62nd Cosă) is now open. You may post a link to a bill's Hopper thread underneath in the usual fashion, provided it has passed the Hopper according to Lex.H.2 and you are entitled to Clark bills.

I will accept for Clarking any such bills (except for any that fall foul of H.2.7) that are presented between now and February 28th 11:59 PM TST, as I will begin assembling the Clark on the European morning of March 1st.

Azul all,

I've been working on expanding the Database and, partly due to the progressive citizen numbers recently ticking over 600, I caught the opportunity to finally formalise the status of 31 people listed on the Chancery's rolls as underage citizens. You can see the results at https://database.talossa.com/citizenship/citizens/dandelions

As a refresher, the law was changed in early 2023 to do away with the former birthright citizenship system ("old-law" Dandelions) and the similar automatic citizenship for children/wards of citizens ("broad-leaf" Dandelions). These formerly were underage citizens who, by a now-abolished provision, could not accumulate strikes until reaching 14; the problem being that, when their parents struck out, they were "trapped" and uncontactable on the rolls, and without us being really sure of their age and status. It was not only a cosmetic issue of having inflated rolls, but also a more serious issue of consent, especially involving non-adults under Talossan but also macronational laws.

This problem was solved by 57RZ27/58RZ01, which made natural-born Dandelions only eligible for automatic citizenship at 14 instead of birth, and removed the "strike protection" until 14, causing existing Dandelions to immediately(*) strike out under the normal provisions of two years without voting or answering a Census. We then instituted a new system of Implinds - registered children/wards of citizens with "prospective privileges" - but as far as I can tell, no Implind has been registered in the three years since (and indeed no "old-law" or "broad-leaf" Dandelion had been registered for five years prior).

I meant to address this issue in the most recent Census, but I forgot to ask the Ziu for permission to inquire with parents about whether they meant to "transfer" their children/wards to the status of an Implind, so the issue had to be postponed. I have decided for the time being to consider as Implinds all former "old-law" and "broad-leaf" Dandelions who have lost their citizenship but qualify as an Implind (by having a still-Talossan parent and possibly being under 14).

This includes, as far as I can tell, 11 people:

* #341, daughter of Eðo Grischun;
* #374, 375, 376 and 417, daughters of Vitxalmour Conductour;
* #498, son of Alexandreu Davinescu;
* #499 and 530, son and daughter of Cresti Siervicül;
* #500 and 531, son and daughter of Dan Txechescu;
* #501, daughter of Miestră Schivă.

The parents/guardians of any of them are more than welcome to reach out to me for any purpose, including removing them from their status as Implinds, availing them of their legal benefits as Implinds, or registering any additional Implinds. (#341, 374, 375 and 376 will definitely turn 14 within a few months, which will make them ineligible to remain Implinds.)

The other 20 former "old-law" or "broad-leaf" Dandelions are all 14 or over (except #383, who however has no Talossan parents) and do not qualify as Implinds, but I believe they have the same status as struck-out citizens, meaning they can have their full, adult citizenship restored essentially just by reaching out to me.

(*): or in two years' time from early 2023; the question is moot since the effect, as of today, is the same.

Sir Lüc da Schir
Secretar d'Estat / Secretary of State

Azul, I would like once again to attempt to jump-start provincial politics into action. It has sadly been almost four years since the last executive was formed, and it seems the Constitution doesn't give me any kind of specific power to redress the issue, eg. by appointing a Basbakan myself or exercising direct rule.

Therefore, the only thing I can do for now is to attempt to organise the House of Commons, and pray all party leaders to assign their seats to people outside of their parties, if need be, so that Atatürk can finally elect an executive.

Anyhow, the House of Commons will once again have 20 seats, pursuant to Article II.1 of the Constitution of Atatürk. The most recent election resulted in 4 votes being cast for the Progressive Alliance, 3 for URL and 1 for the Green Party. This therefore translates into a preliminary allocation of 10 seats for the Progressive Alliance, 7(.5) for URL and 2(.5) for the Green Party.

The latter two parties have a preliminary equal claim to the last seat, since II.1 states that:

QuoteThe allocation of the seats amongst political parties will correspond to the percentage of provincial votes each registered party received in the most recent General Election, rounded to the nearest whole number, to be assigned by party leaders, in accordance with Article VI of the Organic Law.

Unfortunately, there is no provision to break ties directly in the Constitution, and the reference to the Organic Law is also presumably a typo, since it's Article IV that contains provisions governing the apportionment of seats. However, if that language in the Constitution is taken to simply suggest the means of apportionment of seats should mirror the Organic Law, then Organic Law IV.2.2 ("The Secretary of State shall employ whatever mathematical formulae and calculations in the apportionment of seats as are set by law...") directs us to El Lexhatx B.15, which states:

Quote15. In the event of a single seat being divided among two or more parties mathematically, the party with the highest number of total votes will be used, [...]

This is also consistent with precedent, in which the exact same result was apportioned identically: https://talossa.proboards.com/thread/11470/house-commons-49th-ziu

In this case, then, the URL is assigned the final seat, and the final allocation is:

- Progressive Alliance, 10 seats @Baron Alexandreu Davinescu 
- Uniun dels Reformistaes Livereschti, 8 seats @Mic'haglh Autófil, O.Be / @Miestră Schivă, UrN-GC 
- Green Party, 2 seats @Breneir Tzaracomprada 

Please assign the seats as required by Article II.2 (to adult Atatürkeys, without a Talossan criminal record, and who have voted in the most recent General Election).

Azul, with 196 of the 200 elected seats having been filled, we're well over the required threshold for the Cosă to consider the matter of the election of a Túischac'h.

I am therefore pleased to open nominations for the position of Túischac'h, to serve until the dissolution of the 62nd Cosă. (Much like last time, I would ordinarily prefer to invite the outgoing Túischac'h to do so, but for a second time in a row, the last incumbent is no longer sitting in the Cosă.)

The rules governing the election of a Túischac'h are found under Lex.H.4.4:

Quote4.4.1. Should the position of Túischac'h be vacant and a majority of Cosă seats be filled, any Member of the Cosă may either nominate one eligible person for the office of Túischac'h, or second such a nomination made by another Member of the Cosă.
4.4.2. Members of the Cosă may not nominate or second multiple different nominees.
4.4.3. Should the Secretary of State determine that an eligible person has been nominated and seconded by members currently representing an absolute majority of seats in the Cosă, the Secretary of State shall declare the person to be duly elected as Túischac'h, to serve until the Dissolution of the current Cosă.

Azul, I am pleased to hereby declare:

@mximo Carbonel duly elected as Senator for Florenciă, for a full term lasting two Cosă terms (approx. 18 months);

Sir @GV duly elected as Senator for Fiovă, for a full term lasting three Cosă terms (approx. 27 months);

and @Baron Alexandreu Davinescu duly elected as Senator for Maritiimi-Maxhestic, for the remainder of Sir Ian Plätschisch's unexpired term.

Pursuant to Standing Rule of the Senate 1.1, the terms of Txoteu Davinescu and Cresti Nouacastră-Läxhirescu have now expired.

The seat for Maricopa remains vacant pending payment of the 5$ "winner's fee" by @Béneditsch Ardpresteir , pursuant to Lexh.B.9.

I advise the Senate to start making preparations for the election of a Mençei, to be conducted pursuant to Standing Rule 2.




Sir Lüc da Schir
Secretar d'Estat / Secretary of State

With the election certified, it's my pleasure to open seat allocations for the 62nd Cosă.

The seats to be allocated are:

Progressive Alliance: 87 seats @Baron Alexandreu Davinescu
Uniun dels Reformistaes Livereschti: 66 seats @Miestră Schivă, UrN-GC & @Mic'haglh Autófil, O.Be
Green Party: 28 seats @Breneir Tzaracomprada
In Defensa Traditionis: 15 seats @Mximo Malt
Independent Green/Anarcho-Surrealist: 4 seats @Garth Spencer

As a reminder, the maximum number of seats that can be held by a single MC is 20 (down from 22 in the 61st Cosă). Offlist MCs can hold no more than 1/3 of a party's seats collectively, and each can hold at most as many seats as were awarded to a list candidate.

Additionally, the Chancery is in receipt of the request for a new citizen's seat from @Andrïeu Cabischabuerg and has assigned him a single Cosă seat, to be held until Dissolution, pursuant to OrgLaw IV.4.

Results are provisional until certified by the Electoral Commission. An automatic tabulation can be found at https://database.talossa.com/elections/november-2025-general-elections/results.

No candidate having attained a majority, further rounds of IRV are necessary.

IRV computation

The distribution of ballots is as follows:

BALLOT CONTENT	#
1. Txoteu Davinescu	1
1. Txoteu Davinescu 2. Pôl dal Nordselvă	1
1. Pôl dal Nordselvă	2
1. Béneditsch Ardpresteir	3

1. Gilberto Martinez	1
1. Dien Tresplet	1
1. Chilsă Indrut	1

The ballots assigned to S:reux Lux, Martinez, Tresplet and S:da Indrut are trivially exhausted. We are therefore left with seven ballots, three assigned to S:r Ardpresteir and two each assigned to S:reux Davinescu and dal Nordselvă. Two scenarios are conducted in accordance with Lexh.B.14.7.1.

Second round scenario A - Davinescu eliminated. In this case, one of his ballots is exhausted and the other is reassigned to S:r dal Nordselvă, who is tied with S:r Ardpresteir 3-3. According to Lexh.B.14.7, S:r Nordselvă is eliminated due to trailing in the previous round of voting.

Second round scenario B - dal Nordselvă eliminated. None of his two ballots can be reassigned. In this scenario, S:r Ardpresteir leads S:r Davinescu outright, 3-2.

Since he would win under both scenarios, pursuant to Lexh.B.14.7.1.1, Béneditsch Ardpresteir is elected.

November-December 2025 General Election - Wittenberg Polling Station

The General Election is now open, and will remain so until December 1st at 5 PM (17:00) TST (23:00 UTC).

Ballots will be sent shortly after this post is up. If you don't receive yours, or spot a potential error, you should PM me or post on the feedback thread.

Live turnout (net me getting around to manually enter votes received outside the new Database) can be found here.

HOW TO VOTE

You can vote in either of the following ways:

• by casting an electronic ballot on the Database: https://database.talossa.com/elections/november-2025-general-elections/vote
• by posting on Wittenberg on the official polling place thread (this one)
• by compiling the PDF ballot included with the ballot email and sending it by email to this same address
• by compiling the PDF ballot included with the ballot email and sending it by post (snail mail) - contact the Secretary of State for instructions

Either way, the first vote I receive is the one that counts. As per the Organic Law, all votes are final, and cannot be retracted, modified or altered in any way: if multiple votes are sent, only the first one is counted. The only exception is that if you vote on the Cosa part, but forgot to vote on the Senate part, you may cure your ballot by adding your Senate vote before the election deadline.


IF YOU'RE VOTING ON WITTENBERG

Remember to vote on all parts of the ballot. If you only specify a party, your vote will only count for the Cosă.

A. Elections to the 62nd Cosă
Vote for one of the following parties:

Party	Leader(s)	50-Word Statement	Candidates list
Uniun dels Reformistaes Livereschti	Dame Miestră Schivă  Mic'haglh Autófil	The URL will continue the successes of the current Government - a big boost in immigration, a firm stand against harassment and dirty politics. We are the party of more democracy and less intrusive government, and the only party offering someone new for Seneschal. Give Mic'haglh Autófil a majority!	Sir Martì-Páir Furxhéir  Dame Miestră Schivă  Sir Marcel Tafial  Txoteu Davinescu  Mic'haglh Autófil  Pôl dal Nordselvă  Jack Morrison
Progressive Alliance	Baron Alexandreu Davinescu	Reject negativity, embrace accountability, preserve institutions, and move forward with new ideas: repeal the government's secret control on immigration; remove red tape; fix up the website; and put a human face on the government. Promote the fun stuff that's happening... and let the world know about our amazing little nation!	Mximo Carbonel  Sir X. Pol Briga  Baron Alexandreu Davinescu  Baroness Litz Cjantscheir  Eovart Xhorxh  Françal Ian Lux  Tric'hard Lenxheir  Þerxh Sant-Enogat
Green Party	Breneir Tzaracomprada	A politics that reflects but isn't the basis of our culture. Leadership not in service of satisfying personal grievances but for Talossa and her needs. Positive change not as election time gimmicks but as a catalyst for enduring progress. We seek a culture guided by connection not divisive politics.	Breneir Tzaracomprada  Tariq Zubair  Francesco Manzella  Muhammed Yasir  Emeka Iwuagwu
In Defensa Traditionis	Max Maltezos	Dacuort, la società regreßeva à pecançă es urvideva Dïeu qi formeva lor in l'imatx sieu.

Credent qe governamaintsch isch zonat à Dïeu come ün aleguor de sieu regleu maxhestic över l'ünivirs.	Max Maltezos
Independent Green/Anarcho-Surrealist	Garth Spencer	Talossa can lead the world in ecologically sustainable lifestyle and industrial practices, since our ecological impact and industries are a matter of opinion. Also, since we were all transported into a virtuality in the 1970s, Talossa can teach the world to face our virtual existence with humour.	Garth Spencer

If you do not wish to vote for any, vote PRESENT. Voting for any other party other than those listed above will also spoil this part of your ballot and count as PRESENT.

Customary preamble: with King Txec dissolving the Cosă it falls upon the Chancery to conduct elections to all 200 seats in the 62nd Cosă, to Senate seats representing Fiovă, Florenciă, Maricopa and a special election in Maritiimi-Maxhestic, and a referendum on 61RZ08. The Chancery will also facilitate elections to provincial legislatures, as is customary.

The rules governing the election period and all ballot items can be found here. A summary of rules relevant to deadlines and registration follows:

COSĂ PARTY REGISTRATION

Is 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 with the following info:

- Full party name in the preferred national language
- Party leader(s)
- A 50-word statement of the general aims and views of the party
- A list of candidates to receive Cosă seats, or no list.

These must all be provided immediately upon registration but can be amended later up to the deadline (though do so by notifying me, not by editing a previous post because I will not magically notice!).

You may also provide:

- A link to a platform or manifesto
- An alternate party name in the other national language
- NEW: a list of authorised agents who may manage your registration and send mailers on your behalf
- A preferred abbreviation or initialism

Registration is provisional until payment of a registration fee of 6¤40 ($10 USD). The fee must be paid to the Treasury before you are able to assign any and all seats your party may have won. Contact Burgermeister Sir @xpb for information on payment (refer to: https://wittenberg.talossa.com/index.php?msg=33589)

SENATE CANDIDATE REGISTRATION (Fiovă, Florenciă, Maricopa, M-M)

Is 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.

(In an attempt to boost the number of Senate candidacies over the 1.33 average candidates per race during the last GE, I have posted reminders on all relevant provincial boards)
