Yes.  If too much time passes, their job is automatically vacated and they will be replaced.

But also if they don't respond in a timely manner, their deputy can act in their stead (and they can also lose their post without the wait, if His Majesty believes they're not fulfilling their duties).  Maybe this will be the thing that draws them back to activity?

Have to follow the rules, ultimately!

I don't think it's reasonable to expect either that the offender will, in fact, know who they are, or that they will even see these posts.

After preliminary investigations, a charging instrument has been submitted to the Clerk of Corts.  We have worked with the Chancery to obtain a considerable amount of evidence, and we have further been contacted by people who wished to exclude themselves from the investigation.

It is not too late to come forward if you know something about this or if you want to acknowledge that you perhaps made a mistake.

I wanted to use my party threads to again thank the Secretary of State and the Electoral Commission for invalidating the vote that was made under my name.

I also thank the Government for their statement concerning an investigation into the matter. They will have my full cooperation.

The SoS confirms that the name would not have shown on the ballot so it is conceivable that this was an honest mistake. If that is the case I hope the person who made it will come forward soon.

So, having seen the ballot link in question (without clicking on it myself), my immediate impression was that it was presented in a way that a reasonable person who is unfamiliar with the voting system might perceive to be completely benign. I don't remember if citizens' names are shown on the ballot page after they enter their personal code, but showing someone else's name can easily be dismissed as an error, if it's noticed at all.

Meantime, I think we also need to take account of Breneir's recklessness. He should by this point be familiar with the voting system, and he sent a link he should reasonably have realized was intended for himself only to a public mailing list.

But, look, we're humans and we make mistakes, and I think the best way to handle this incident is to take whatever Organic steps are necessary to deal with the ballot directly, and then discuss what about the system could be changed to make it more resilient against this kind of human error. Luckily, a new Cosă session is starting pretty soon.

I don't think threatening prosecution is productive here.

Unfortunately not, the results will be revealed all at once when the deadline has passed.

Quote from: Sir Lüc on Today at 05:16:17 AMI believe Lexh.B.13.6.1 applies here, meaning I am treating the above as a notification to me and the rest of the Electoral Commission that a potential irregularity with a ballot has taken place.

I have accordingly referred the matter to the rest of the Commission, which shall now review the matter and decide by majority vote whether an irregularity exists. Such an irregularity would then be handled according to existing law.

I will not comment on this further except to update on the Commission's findings.

Luc, I am deeply grateful. Thank you!

I was just wondering if there is any way to follow election results. I found a link to see who has not voted yet but I was wondering if we can see current results, not who voted for who just total votes cast for and against issues and candidated.

Azul fellow citizens of Vuode, This is just a quick note to let you all know that I would really appreciate your vote for Senate! If nothing else I am reliable, I have an exemplary voting record for my previous terms as both a Senator from Vuode and a multi-term member of the Cosa in the past. I have also served as both Premier and Presiding Officer in the past. No matter who you decide is the better candidate please make sure you vote!
