OFFICIAL: Nominations & Voting thread for Mençéi - 61st Cosâ

[GV]

I will vote in a little bit, but let's get this going

Nominations for Mencei have begun as of now: Saturday 26 April 2025

To facilitate a quick vote on this, your nomination in this thread will also be your vote.

Hope this clears up things, everyone.

GV, Acting Mencei

[Sir Lüc]

I think it will be very helpful for me to post the full Standing Rule 2.3, which governs the election of a new Mençei, so Senators may be mindful of its provisions:

The Acting Mençei shall allow for nominations to be lodged for a period of at least a week from the beginning of a term.

Should a Senator receive nominations from a majority of Senators, the nomination period shall end and the Senator be considered duly elected; otherwise, a ballot shall be held using Instant Runoff Voting.

Seniority shall resolve any ties that may occur during any stage of elimination.

Lastly, it appears that the Senators for Cézembre and Maricopa have lodged their nominations once the process was restarted, while the Senators for Fiovă and Florenciă had lodged nominations earlier and may want to restate them.

RESTATEMENT OF NOMINATION: Jerome Davinescu

GV WITHDRAWS from the contest for Mencei, 61st Cosâ

So in this thread, I nominate myself for Mençei - and vote for me to avoid a zero score.

This is just for nominations. One week to actual voting.

I need to change the thread's subject line.  - GV

[Eðo Grischun]

I nominate the member for Maricopa, Txoteu Davinescu.

Rescinded.

[þerxh Sant-Enogat]

I thought I had to compete as a member of the Opposition, but if it should endanger the possibility for Baron Alexandreu to be elected in a position where he would be very skilled and efficient, then I prefer to withdraw. I will keep my "ç"-typing abilities for other usages.

[GV]

GV's vote is for þerxh Sant-Enogat.

Get there.
See.
Conquer.

Note... I'm not the Baron 😉

[Eðo Grischun]

My final vote is for þerxh Sant-Enogat.

My final vote is for þerxh

[Antaglha Xhenerös Somelieir]

My nomination/vote is for þerxh

[Sir Lüc]

It doesn't fall upon me (well, upon anyone technically) to proclaim the winner, but in the interest of getting this done ASAP so I can go on and make all necessary changes in Witt and the Database:

That makes it a majority of Senators (Sant-Enogat, Valcadac'h, Grischun, Davinescu, Somelieir) nominating @þerxh Sant-Enogat for Mençei. Pursuant to Standing Rule 2.3, he is therefore to be considered duly elected as Mençei. Congratulations!

[King Txec]

Congratulations to the newly elected Mençéi.

Thank you for this election and your trust! As this is a new position for me I will beg for your forgiveness (and your help) if I miss some steps at first.
