[CONVENTION] Open Floor for Amendments to the Party Constitution

[Mic’haglh Autófil, O.Be]

Given that there has been some internal discussion over the past few months regarding possible amendments to the Party Constituziun, I hereby open the floor to any such proposals.

For example, I believe @Miestră Schivă, UrN-GC has stated a desire to reform the endorsement process for Senäts candidates found in Article III, Section H?

Yes, hello. The current text reads as follows:

H. Party-affiliated candidates in Senäts elections shall be endorsed by the Party on the condition that they agree to endorse all other party-affiliated candidates in that same election. Any candidates who agree to this condition and fulfill it shall receive endorsement from the Party en masse, with the recommendation that they be ranked above any other candidates in an internal order of the voter's choosing.

This was written in the assumption that, in a Ranked Choice Voting system, URL candidates and supporters would be able to grasp the concept of a preference exchange - i.e. you vote [1] for your own guy and [2] for the other guy from your party, so no votes were spoiled.

This led to a complete catastrophe in the last Maricopa Senäts election, where voters for @Pol dal Nordselva and @Txotéu Davinescu completely failed to do this. So it may be that we need to return to one endorsement per vacancy, if our own members don't get how Ranked Choice voting works.

That makes sense to me. Added bonus, that allows us to put energy into helping that candidate's campaign, instead of being forced to take a hands-off approach.

The question, then, is what sort of method would we want to see otherwise?
