No objections to allowing Istefan to withdraw.

Besides, if a tiebreaker was forced to take place and Istefan by chance ended up winning, he could very well choose to resign if he didn't want the job; in which case I would be almost assured to offer Mic'haglh to the Assembly for election to the vacant spot, given he would have won it by countback. We'd be back at this same point but with a lot more hassle.

Pending certification of the electoral results, then as the outgoing Governadeir, the tentative assignment of seats in the Nimlet for the 63rd Cosa term is as follows:

Senator: 1 seat
Governor: 1 seat
Progressive Alliance: 4 seats
Union of Free Reformists: 2 seats*
Green Party: 1 seat
Independent Progressive: 1 seat

* The vote for the "FreeDems" is held as equivalent to a vote for the URL, and therefore awards a second seat to the same. The URL is the direct legal successor to the Free Democrats of Talossa. Had the Free Democrats simply dissolved in the manner of the Talossan National Congress, the vote would be properly considered as invalid, but in this case the vote as cast can be properly understood and attributed to a registered party (using Lexh.B.8.3 as a guide).

Quote from: Istefan Perþonest on September 02, 2026, 11:13:26 AMHuh. Rather than a coin flip, can I just step aside in favor of @Mic'haglh Autófil, O.Be ?

That is a good question! There's no provision for it, but we also can't exactly force people to hold offices they don't want to hold.

Do the other Consuls have any objections to permitting Sir Istefan from declining the coin toss?

I would like to notify the province that, as results from https://database.talossa.com/elections/august-2026-elections#274 , the following people have claimed a seat in the States General:

Azul. In my capacity as Cunstavál of Atatürk, I would like to once again attempt to kickstart the House of Commons into activity.

This time, there really is no way for Atatürk to simply postpone the issue to the next term, as the Constitution specifically sets the size of the House to one-tenth of the Cosă, meaning that, unless the provision is amended, the next House would have just two seats. As I said before, the Constitution itself greatly ties my hands, meaning I can be of very limited assistance unless parties can finally seat a majority of the House with good-willing members; however, there are some tools (e.g. OrgLaw VII.3.15) I am exploring using to try and avert that upcoming disaster.

Now, to the usual part. The House of Commons will have 20 seats, pursuant to Article II.1 of the Constitution of Atatürk. The most recent election resulted in 5 votes being cast for the Progressive Alliance and 4 for the URL, with one left blank (but not marked PRESENT) and 6 explicitly marked PRESENT.

This therefore translates into an allocation of:

- 11 seats for the Progressive Alliance @Baron Alexandreu Davinescu
- 9 for the URL @Mic'haglh Autófil, O.Be / @Miestră Schivă, UrN-GC

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). As a personal plea, please keep in mind the risk of the House of Commons shrinking to two seats if action is not taken during this term. Thank you.
