Apologies. Done.

Azul Fellow Talossans,

I hereby cast my vote :

1. Brenier Tzaracompadra
2. Ian Plätschisch

Obviously with 2 candidates only, the 2nd choice is a non sense. we have to keep in mind to amend/improve the organic law on the topic.

regards

[Açafat del Val]

Actually, I am a little angry that neither I nor anyone else thought of this:

We don't have to vote for just the FreeDems and TNC.

My first preference is Ian.
My second preference is the PdR.

They have a party leader and representation in the Cosa; I should be permitted Organically to vote for the PdR's leader.

[Miestră Schivă, UrN]

No, we changed the system after the first go. The current law says that only the candidates actually nominated by the parties go forward to a vote. The PdR didn't nominate (neither did the LCR or Dien). Only 2 nominations. Sorry, that's the interpretation that the SoS is defending in Court.

[Açafat del Val]

Sounds to me, then, like we're reaping what we sowed when we didn't bother to consider the larger implications of piecemeal amendments.

Although I would argue that the PdR can't nominate anyone but its own leader. I mean, is there even a process in place for nomination? As far as I'm concerned, each party implicitly nominates itself.

Unless the PdR wishes unequivocally to announce that it refuses to nominate its own leader as a candidate for Seneschal, then I consider my vote valid.

Don't worry, though: the Talossan judiciary is a joke, so I won't be filing any lawsuit ;)

Yes.

Yes.

Seems like the PdR leader is nominated implicitly, then! They never nominated anyone, so their leader should be assumed to be on the ballot.

I don't know if I can nominate anyone now that the election has already begun, if I'm honest.

Let's keep discussion about the votes out of this thread. Thanks.

Sorry, you can't nominate at this point. Thanks.
