First time voter

New to Vuode and wondering, are there any provincial elections that i should be aware of? I am trying to get up to speed on all of the governmental workings of Talossa and Vuode. Thank you

Welcome. Vuode doesn't have an election per se. During the general election, a thread can be started for anyone to claim a seat in the Estates General. It's that simple

Welcome to Vuode!

As V said above;

Plus, if you want to learn more about what's happened in Vuode over the past few years, the better place for reading material would be the old Vuode sub-forum at https://talossa.proboards.com

I have a lot to learn. I am not even sure how i will vote in the upcoming election. Not really sure how i feel on the issues or how each party leans on the issues. I see that every citizen may claim a seat in the Vuodean government but i don't feel qualified to do so at this point. Thank you for the link it will be helpful.

Meh, don't be so modest. Etho wrote Vuode's constitution several years back. I think he'll agree when i say that the intent was so every person in Vuode, regardless of their perceived qualification, can have a voice in its governance.  We're a small province that guards its autonomy fiercely.  Your input is just as valid as any other citizen. 

At minimum, I'd say, claim your seat in the Estats Xhenerias.  I don't think anything has actually happened there in years. We have about one statute (maybe two) regarding senate elections.  Although we're always hopeful for more. Also, national party lines tend to break down in Vuode.  So if we are in opposite parties nationally, that doesn't necessarily mean we wouldn't be political allies locally (or vice versa!).

Ok so how do i go about claiming my seat? I see in the provincial constitution it says i have to publicly claim my seat in the Estats Xhenerais but it doesn't say where i am supposed to make that claim LOL

It would be in this sub forum.  Usually someone starts a new thread when an election starts and people will post their claims in there. 

Looking forward to you taking part in our local gov!
