18th Convocation of the Provincial Assembly of Maritiimi-Maxhestic

[Sir Ian Plätschisch]

The database is not currently set up for ranked choice either which means I'd have to do a manual tally.

Yes it is; all Chancery-conducted Senate elections for the past few terms have used IRV.

[Sir Ian Plätschisch]

I've modified the Senate Election Reform Act again, but it never discussed the Assembly Call to begin with. Here is another act to ensure that the Assembly Call is always issued on time:

ASSEMBLY CALL READINESS ACT

CBLA.C.1.1, which currently reads:

C.1.1. The Assembly Call is publicly issued by the Maximally Magnificent Majordomo during every national election. The Call shall be issued no earlier than ten days before, and no later than, the national Balloting Day, and is closed at the same time as the national elections on the Election Deadline.

Is amended to read:

C.1.1. The Assembly Call is publicly issued by the Maximally Magnificent Majordomo during every national election. The Call shall be issued no earlier than ten days before, and no later than, the national Balloting Day, and is closed at the same time as the national elections on the Election Deadline. If the Maximally Magnificent Majordomo does not issue the Assembly Call by the national Balloting Day, any citizen of Maritiimi-Maxhestic may issue it.

Yeah... Txec, you're actually required to use IRV for every election, without any choice in the matter, I think.  Org.V.8 at work. But anyway, what would work for you when it comes to our situation here?

[King Txec]

I knew that haha. What helps is making sure there is someone who can be sure to notify me in advance if I need to include MM in the ballot. From my reading of your proposal it may be automatic but I'm not clear on who is supposed to notify me..

Txec <—— new guy still figuring things out lol.

[Baron Alexandreu Davinescu]

We're trying to figure out some way to automatically request the Chancery conduct the election in the case of no one in the province being active enough to run it, but obviously if no one is active enough to run it then no one is active enough to request the Chancery run it... so yeah.

Personally, I'd prefer the Chancery always run the election.

[King Txec]

Personally, I'd prefer the Chancery always run the election.

That makes things easier for sure.

Modified the Act again to instruct the GGS to notify the Chancery.

[Baron Alexandreu Davinescu]

I would like to make it possible to allow any citizen to join this Assembly, even if they weren't around for the brief period at the start of the term to claim a seat. Before I write the legislation, any philosophical objections?

[Sir Ian Plätschisch]

So, essentially have the assembly call stay open the entire term and seat people as soon as they respond?

[Baron Alexandreu Davinescu]

Yes. I know this would be a departure from current practice and would have negatively impacted your own candidacy most recently, but it has some historical precedent and I think it would help our province.

[Sir Ian Plätschisch]

Yes. I know this would be a departure from current practice and would have negatively impacted your own candidacy most recently, but it has some historical precedent and I think it would help our province.

I'd be fine with it.

[Sir Ian Plätschisch]

I am hereby putting the following bills up for a vote:

-The Senate Elections Reform Act
-The Assembly Voting Reform Act
-The Assembly Call Readiness Act

[Sir Ian Plätschisch]

I vote PER on all.

[Sir Ian Plätschisch]

The voting period being long over, all three bills pass by a vote of 1-0.
