Azul all, the Electoral Commission has certified the rules governing the upcoming General Election. As such, registrations can now begin.

Customary preamble: with King Txec dissolving the Cosă it falls upon the Chancery to conduct elections to all 200 seats in the 62nd Cosă, to Senate seats representing Fiovă, Florenciă, Maricopa and a special election in Maritiimi-Maxhestic, and a referendum on 61RZ08. The Chancery will also facilitate elections to provincial legislatures, as is customary.

The rules governing the election period and all ballot items can be found here. A summary of rules relevant to deadlines and registration follows:

COSĂ PARTY REGISTRATION

Is open now and will remain open until November 13th. Registration can be done by posting in this thread, by PM to me, or by email to the Chancery with the following info:

- Full party name in the preferred national language
- Party leader(s)
- A 50-word statement of the general aims and views of the party
- A list of candidates to receive Cosă seats, or no list.

These must all be provided immediately upon registration but can be amended later up to the deadline (though do so by notifying me, not by editing a previous post because I will not magically notice!).

You may also provide:

- A link to a platform or manifesto
- An alternate party name in the other national language
- NEW: a list of authorised agents who may manage your registration and send mailers on your behalf
- A preferred abbreviation or initialism

Registration is provisional until payment of a registration fee of 6¤40 ($10 USD). The fee must be paid to the Treasury before you are able to assign any and all seats your party may have won. Contact Burgermeister Sir @xpb for information on payment (refer to: https://wittenberg.talossa.com/index.php?msg=33589)

SENATE CANDIDATE REGISTRATION (Fiovă, Florenciă, Maricopa, M-M)

Is open now and will remain open until November 13th. Registration can be done by posting in this thread, by PM to me, or by email to the Chancery. No additional information is necessary but you will need to be a citizen of the province whose seat you seek to represent.

(In an attempt to boost the number of Senate candidacies over the 1.33 average candidates per race during the last GE, I have posted reminders on all relevant provincial boards)

The URL will continue the successes of the current Government - a big boost in immigration, a firm stand against harassment and dirty politics. We are the party of more democracy and less intrusive government, and the only party offering someone new for Seneschal. Give Mic'haglh Autófil a majority!

Sorry, two quick points of clarification about your list (but in any case the registration is valid):

- in position 6, do you mean Iac Valadeir or Jack Morrison (whom you have tagged)?

- in position 7, just checking whether you're aware that MPF has recently been added to the Progressive Alliance's Witt membergroup - did they get it wrong (maybe they meant to add Mximo) or did you?

Quote from: Sir Lüc on Yesterday at 02:30:49 AM- in position 6, do you mean Iac Valadeir or Jack Morrison (whom you have tagged)?

Jack Morrison, whom I have tagged. Iac Valadeir is a URL member but is currently intending to take a break from politics.

Quote- in position 7, just checking whether you're aware that MPF has recently been added to the Progressive Alliance's Witt membergroup - did they get it wrong (maybe they meant to add Mximo) or did you?

LOL, I have to assume that's a mistake. @mpf is active on internal URL forums. I'm going to guess you're right and the PA can't tell the difference between our two prominent Québecois citizens.

Ah perfect, just checking to be sure. @Iac , if you intend on getting a Talossan version of your name, you will have to provide me with a translated surname as well so I can update your Database entry.

(edit: and on that note I believe your surname would probably be Moritzescu)

Yes, I was just looking at a wiki article before I wrote MPF, lol -- I fixed it immediately.  MPF is very firmly in the URL.

I confirm that I am active internally. I have a very full life which is keeping me over busy. I still have a lot of love for Talossa, and I do read the Clark each month to make my mind on how to vote on it. And I didn't change political party.

I each month hope to become more active, but life has other plans for me for now.

Much like last time, I cannot act upon this until I also receive the 50-word statement, pursuant to rule A.1.

I would like to note that there was some dissent inside the party over this when we were hammering it out.  While some thought it was good, at least one Talossan (who I won't name here) said,

Quote from: Tric'hard Lenxheir on November 02, 2025, 12:11:25 AMYou forgot to mention stealing the King's money!

So we are including that promise, among others, in an additional fifty words which we will send to voters by courier pigeon.

Unrelated: thank you to the Secretary of State for this:

This is a good idea!  (Also, see, I finally read the election rules.)
