I have a question about the referendum on 62RZ26.

It mentions that the reduction of the Cosă's size to 20 seats would only take effect after February 2027, which is the timeline set forth from the Pseudo-Real Cosă Act. However, since 62RZ26 is an amendment, and the delayed effect of Cosă size changes only applies to changes made via statute (at least that's how Org.IV.2.1 reads to me), is it not rather the case that, were the referendum to pass, the size change would go into effect immediately?

Miestra Schiva is a candidate for the Praisideu.

50 words:
Fiova has the very best, directly democratic constitution of all the Provinces. It's a tragedy we don't use it more. Give me your (1) vote for leadership, and use your other preferences to choose the Fiovans who most want to DO things.

GROUP 5

GROUP 6

I kind of surprised myself by some of these rankings, but I'm sticking to it. Ever since hearing the acoustic version on Anthology, I've been unable to properly appreciate the full band version of While my guitar gently weeps. I don't know why. Being a certified Beatles fanatic, it's a capital offense in some circles, I'm sure.

We will vote on groups two at a time (although you can vote on only one of the groups if you want). Each voting period will last three days (72 hours). Votes cast after that will not be accepted, with the exception that we will always keep going until we have at least three votes per group.

Give your top four songs 4, 3, 2, and 1 points, respectively. You must give points to exactly four songs.
