Yes! There are no party labels for Senate elections, although Senators are then free to affiliate with whatever party they choose, including no party at all; so that is absolutely allowed.

Azul, this is a quick thread to inform you that there will be a Senate election for Vuode's seat, as well as the customary States-General seat claim, in the August-September 2026 General Elections.

Senate Election

Vuode will elect a Senator for a full term of approx. 27 months (three Cosăs). The election will be run by the Chancery. Anyone interested in running should register on the official registration thread by the end of August 13th.

States-General seat claim

This province also allows its citizens to claim a seat in its provincial assembly. For the last two elections, the Chancery has allowed people to lodge a seat claim right on the electoral ballot, as a matter of facilitating democracy, with provinces then left free to respect or ignore the claims lodged that way. Unless the province requests otherwise by August 13th, the Chancery will again include the seat claim on the ballot in the upcoming election.

Azul, this is a quick thread to inform you that there will be a Senate election for M-M's seat, as well as the customary Assembly seat claim, in the August-September 2026 General Elections.

Senate Election

M-M will elect a Senator for a full term of approx. 18 months (two Cosăs). The election will be run by the Chancery. Anyone interested in running should register on the official registration thread by the end of August 13th.

Assembly seat claim

For the last two elections, the Chancery has allowed people to lodge a seat claim right on the electoral ballot, as a matter of facilitating democracy, with provinces then left free to respect or ignore the claims lodged that way.

Azul, this is a quick thread to confirm details about the single provincial race specific to Florenciă in the August-September 2026 General Elections.

Florenciă will elect its unicameral provincial assembly, the Nimlet. This election will, by default, be run by the Chancery unless the province requests otherwise by August 13th. Florenciă should also supply relevant electoral law to the Chancery by that date, as well as anything else that should be printed on the ballot, otherwise the Chancery will interpret provincial law by itself as best it can.

Attention: New mailer rules

With the passage of 62RZ28, the Data Protection Act, the rules governing mailers have changed. The changes are two:

• Mailers can only be sent by fully registered parties: this entails both registering here with at least the bare minimum info (name, 50-words, leader, provisional Cosă list; see above), AND paying the USD10 registration fee to the Treasury. In case the Treasury is unresponsive, I will accept proper receipts sent to me in private as provisional proof of payment.
• Once you have fully registered, you can send up to three mailers: one between now and voting opening on August 15th, and two, at least a week apart from each other, in the actual voting period (15th-1st)

Other rules remain the same: send mailers to talossachancery at gmail, and I will forward them unedited (except if you forgot to sign it, and except for the "you may unsubscribe at this link" preamble) within a day.
