You should have been getting email reminders from the Chancery as well? Sorry, I didn't want to pester you via email as well

Doggone it, I know I logged in more recently than two weeks ago, to at least check for DM's, yet somehow the DM's reminding me about the election (dating from the 15th onward) and asking for my vote never appeared until today!  Weird glitch.  Oh well.

The preliminary results of the Provincial Council election are as follows:

Candidate	First Votes	Second Votes	Third Votes	Total Points
@Sir Lüc	3	2	0	13
@Iason Taiwos	1	0	3	6
@Mic'haglh Autófil, O.Be	1	1	0	5
@Istefan Perþonest	1	1	0	5
@e.iwuagwu (Emeka Iwuagwu)	1	0	0	3
@Xherált Ups Cantoûr	1	0	0	3
Pôl dal Cräpscaßada	1	0	0	3
@Francesco Manzella	1	0	0	3
@Iac Marscheir	0	1	0	2
@Erschéveþ da Schir	0	0	1	1

Presuming the results are certified as they stand, Sir Lüc da Schir and Sir Iason Taiwos are re-elected as Provincial Consuls; a coin flip will determine whether the final Consul elected is Mic'haglh Autófil or Sir Istefan Perþonest.

The following citizens claimed a seat in the Provincial Assembly for the term:
@Mic'haglh Autófil, O.Be
@Xherált Ups Cantoûr
@Moses Henry Emefiele
@Francesco Manzella
@e.iwuagwu (Emeka Iwuagwu)
@Iason Taiwos
@Istefan Perþonest
Pôl dal Cräpscaßada
@Sir Lüc da Schir

As an aside, had the "undervotes leave the first vote(s) blank" reform been passed as intended, Consul da Schir (9 pts) and Consul Perþonest (5 pts) would be joined by the winner of a coin flip between Taiwos and Autófil (4 pts each).

The Union of Free Reformists would like to extend our congratulations to all participants in the 63rd Cosă election. We would like to commend our opponents for largely campaigning in a more cordial tone than in the previous election, and if I may, I'd like to add a personal commendation to the Chancery for yet another smoothly-run affair -- those paper ballots were a simple idea, but they add quite a bit of excitement to the whole voting process.

There are, I believe, multiple bright spots for the Union and our supporters in the electoral results:

• A gain of 17 Cosă seats, by far the largest jump for any party.
• The resounding victory of the URL's Eðo Grischün for re-election as Vuode's Senator, when faced with a quality opponent in Tric'hard Lenxheir, himself an experienced former Senator.
• The endorsement of the Democracy Act and Amendment.  Despite an apparent rebellion from some of the more conservative supporters of the Progressive Alliance, this legislation represents the biggest step forward in Talossa's constitutional development since the democratically-endorsed accession of King Txec.
• As a follow-on from the last item, the Democracy Act and Amendment represents three of the nine items (#1, #3, and #4) complete from the Democracy Agenda. With one-third of the agenda enacted without the Union having even been in government, it's hard to argue we're not Talossa's party of Getting Things Done -- and it's also plain to see that our goals resonate with the people! The good news for them, then, is that more of the Democracy Agenda will follow in this and future Cosas.

In the same good spirits in which this election was conducted, and noting the continued parity of the two major parties within the Senäts, we look forward to the formation of a new Government with quite a bit more optimism this time around, and we hope to see continued the attitudes of cooperation which ultimately prevailed in the previous Cosă.

Voastră in Livertà, Democraçù, es Progreçéu
Yours in Liberty, Democracy, and Progress

On Behalf of the Comità

I immediately offered him an ambassador's account, but of course I assume he must know that he would be welcome if he wanted to immigrate!

Congratulations on your victory Eðo Grischun. As I said I did not expect to win just didn't want to see someone run unopposed. Lead the province well!

Can we recruit Chris?

Three items checked off. More to follow, given the good will of the voters and of other parties.

I am so pleased and overjoyed to hear an update on the dear Baroness!
