I would strongly caution against 3, but would welcome 2 and would suggest 1 be tweaked so that the outgoing Túischac'h be allowed to perform every statutory function after Dissolution until a new incumbent is in place (so CRL, Chancery oversight and so on).

This keeps happening. There is simply never enough time after the official announcement of results (15th of the month) and the First Clark (1st of the next month) to elect Chairs of the Houses and to organise the State Opening of the Cosă.

Ways around this might include:
1) authorizing the Túischac'h to be elected before the 15th;
2) accelerate the Electoral Commission's certification of elections;
3) bringing in a provision that the First Clark can't happen until a Túischac'h is elected, which might delay the First Clark by a month

Yes, absolutely, and welcome aboard! I will add you to our private forum.

The call for bills for the October 2026 Clark (the first of the 63rd Cosă) is now open. You may post a link to a bill's Hopper thread underneath in the usual fashion, provided it has passed the Hopper according to Lex.H.2 and you are entitled to Clark bills.

I will accept for Clarking any such bills (except for any that fall foul of H.2.7) that are presented between now and September 30th 11:59 PM TDT, as I will begin assembling the Clark on the European morning of October 1st.

Anyway, that's all 200 seats assigned.

I will now be opening the Call for Bills as time is running low - I had been holding off on doing so because we don't have a new Túischac'h, Mençei and A-X to form a new CRL, but time is running low and the former CRL, sans Sir Marcel who Organically ceased to be the Túischac'h upon Dissolution, is still legally empowered to scrutinise bills.

"Wow. I have ten seats. I really should put on more weight."

You can also try and lie down across all of them!

Dear Baron, can I join the Progressive Alliance? I am very curious about the politics of the kingdom and I hope to be a member of the Progressive Alliance. Thank you for reading and look forward to your reply.

Esteemed colleagues,

I would like to remind you that this Cosă has yet to elect a Túischac'h. We need a Túischac'h for this term's State Opening.

Quote from: King Txec on September 24, 2026, 10:18:53 PMAs a long-time Secretary of State, I very much understand the challenges and hard work of running a general election. Sir Luc I very much appreciate your excellent service to the kingdom.

Thank you, your Majesty!
