As His Majesty is currently assigned to steward my own membership submition, and @Crement Itravilatx possibly having a habitual bias towards his husband (purely for the sake fairfness), I hereby call upon either @C. M. Siervicül or @Eðo Grischun to steward this submition as senior fellows of the society.

I wanted to follow-up on my application for membership and also enquire as to the status of your own which was submitted about two weeks ago. Are there any updates concerning these applications?

@Tierçéu Rôibeardescù I hope you will forgive my additional follow-up. I am genuinely excited by your recent work to renew the Society so wanted to join and contribute in any way I can. I can certainly relate with a need to focus on non-Talossa activities (I am currently transitioning between jobs and the days are long). Once you are able I would love your comments on my application.

So sorry about that! I have been fairly busy myself, partly because I have decided I love academia so much that I do, in fact, want to do my PhD and have been writing proposals and such. I have looked over your submission and would be happy to give feedback; however, I would like to open the submissions's stewardship over to one of our senior fellows, not that I don't have time, more that i fear my understanding of the subject matter itself is outside of my personal wheelhouse of knowledge. I can give it merit on its style, format and such, however I perosally dont feel upto the task to judge its content.

Thank you Madam President. I am open to any questions and would be honored to join the Society and help shape its future.

I appreciate the openness and care and thought that is evident in the Secretary of State's materials here but I agree with Miestra. I would support Option 2.

My preference is for three, and I think the provided summaries are pretty good as they stand.

Yeah... even though me and AD have basically agreed that the next Cosă will have 200 seats, I still don't agree that enshrining a smaller Cosă in the OrgLaw would be subject to the same timetable (or any timetable) as statutory changes such as the Pseudo-Real Cosă Act, and I suspect there is no real way of clearing this up before the election.

My preference is for 2, because we have already seen in this campaign that a summary of the effects of an Amendment might be disputed.

Azul, the Chancery is pleased to release to the public a preview-mode version of the ballot for the upcoming General Elections. You can find it at https://database.talossa.com/elections/august-2026-elections/preview.

If you log in to the Database beforehand (should you have credentials), you will receive a voting confirmation email which in itself is a preview of what everyone will receive when casting a vote in the actual election. This is a new feature that was still missing from the new Database.

Other changes with respect to the previous election include:

• Redesigned party options, incl. to offer a better experience on mobile
• A confirmation modal to recap your choices and make sure voters's choices are recorded properly (including warning when parts have been left blank or when there are duplicate ranked votes)
• Various visual tweaks (e.g. better use of colours to visually separate parts of the ballot) and usability improvements (e.g. when selecting a write-in citizen from the dropdown, the "write-in" option will automatically be marked)

The design of the ballot, of the confirmation email and of the receipt page may receive further tweaks before voting begins.

Please use this thread for bug reporting and feedback.
