Quote from: Breneir Tzaracomprada on August 12, 2026, 09:41:57 AM@Sir Lüc I was reviewing the example ballot and came away with a question. Mximo Carbonel is a sitting senator (Florencia) and presumably can't hold both his current seat and be a member of the Cosa. Can he legally stand as a member of this list?

Yes he can, but of course he won't be eligible to accept Cosă seats should he be assigned any, unless he also resigns his Senate seat.

In other words: running for an incompatible position is legal, but accepting the election without resolving the incompatibility is not.

Thanks Luc.

We've had six months of Progressive government, and a lot has gotten done for the people of Talossa!  But we need your support to get more built for you, like some real physical embassies, some beautiful paper maps, and a new approach to our national website.

The election is in a few days... vote Progressive, and let's get even more done for you!

What Have We Done?
We remade the entire immigration system, eliminated a huge vulnerability exposing your personal information, made a bunch of promotional videos and Reddit posts, ran an experiment to show they worked, revamped and massively updated our information portal of Infotecă, centralized government positions and major policies for the first time ever, reopened our merchandise store after a long time, eliminated the government's ability to secretly control immigration, eliminated the ability of the Seneschal to make permanent laws by themselves with just His Majesty's agreement, and fought tooth and nail to preserve the Senate.  It's been the most productive term in years... let's keep it rolling!

What Do We Want to Do?
We still need some private partners to launch a central depository of files and images, plus starter kits for organizations.  Have an idea?  Let us help you make it a reality!  Plus, we still want to rework the whole way the Government is structured -- we need your support to reform it for a new age!

We have new ideas, too!  We want to establish physical embassies around the world, with a goal of at least three.  And we want to make real maps of our territory -- beautiful, professional-looking maps anyone can print -- to hang in our new embassies!  And we want to overhaul our entire web presence, so that we're not so completely dominated by a web forum.  Our plans are so good that even our main opponents in the election are happy with them!  Let's have another blockbuster term: vote Progressive!

Yes he can, but of course he won't be eligible to accept Cosă seats should he be assigned any, unless he also resigns his Senate seat.

This is admittedly more unusual than the common practice of Senate candidates also appearing in a Cosă list, but we had candidates running for incompatible positions in the past; the first one that comes to mind is Béneditsch Ardpresteir winning the Senate race for Maricopa in the 50th Cosă elections, despite being a sitting CpI Justice at the time. He had to decide which position he wanted to keep, and ultimately elected to remain on the bench, with Sir Cresti being appointed Senator by the Premier of Maricopa (can't immediately remember who that was) in his stead.

In other words: running for an incompatible position is legal, but accepting the election without resolving the incompatibility is not.

I can gladly say that mine arrived today (even though I'm on holiday; my uncle is currently housesitting for us and sent me a picture).

Gräts grült à @Mic'haglh Autófil, O.Be!

Quote from: Aleksandr on August 11, 2026, 05:12:53 PMHello everyone, I am a self-nominee! Vote for me and I will stop all military actions!!!

Azul! You are a citizen of Atatürk, not Fiovă. By my reading, the Fiovan constitution does not mandate that members of the Praesidium must be Fiovan, simply that they are elected by the Fiovan citizenry. However, unlike the similar Praesidium-like Council in Belacostă, from macronational context I think the Praesidium is intended to be a subset of the General Assembly, to sit on which you do need to be Fiovan.

I will defer to @Miestră Schivă, UrN-GC on this, of course, as I don't think it falls upon me to interpret Fiovan law, I just run the election according to instructions.
