REPUBLIC OF ATLASIA - In Dave We Trust
Sample Ballot

This election is held in accordance with Article V of the Constitution and with the Consolidated Electoral System Reform Act. The regular election begins at 0:00 EDT, Friday, October 18, and ends at 0:00 EDT, Monday, October 21.

DO NOT EDIT OR DELETE THE POST CONTAINING YOUR BALLOT IN ANY WAY AFTER 20 MINUTES OF ITS BEING POSTED OR YOUR VOTE WILL BE INVALIDATED

The act of campaigning within the election booth is strictly forbidden and will render void any votes made by those who campaign. The act of campaigning is considered to include, but is not limited to, strong attempts to compel others either to vote or not to vote for one or multiple candidates, or other related activities that could reasonably be construed as a direct attempt to influence how future voters cast their ballots. In other words, this is not a discussion thread. In short, the department will be taking a liberal interpreation of this, so Keep posts to votes only.

Place the numbers 1, 2, etc. in the space provided beside the candidates who you wish to vote for to designate your order of preference for these candidates.  If any other mark or attempt to order the candidates is made, the Department of Forum Affairs will make every effort to deduce voter intent from the content of the ballot, but the warning must be issued that failure to follow the above instructions may result in the invalidation of your ballot in the event of an inability to discern voter intent.  You are an eligible voter in general if you were registered to vote on or before the proper date, and if you made 10 posts in any location within the Atlas Forum in the 8 weeks prior to the commencement of the regular election. In other words, if your name appears on the Census list, you can presume you are eligible.  

In the event that you do not support any listed candidate or that you support one or many candidates that are not listed in addition to those that are, you may write in other candidates and include them in your list of preferences.  Space is provided for one such write-in, but as many can be listed as you wish.  In the event that you do not support any listed candidate, and do not wish to write in any candidate, you may place an X or a 1 beside "None of the above", and only beside "None of the above".  In the event that an X or a 1 appears beside "None of the above" on a ballot, all other marks or numbers will be ignored.  It is not permissible under current election law to vote for both "None of the above" and other candidates.

Note that voting begins at midnight and ends in exactly 72 hours.

Names of candidates follow in alphabetical order.

[Enderman]

I think that its funny/cool/awesome/odd that Duke was named in the second to last post (after this one, but replies will no longer make that valid) and the second to first post in this thread; even after roughly a year!

well, that's my two cents...

[homelycooking]

Recent deregistrations have lowered the number of signatures needed for an initiative to qualify for a referendum to 12. Having previously acquired 12 signatures, the "Torture Isn't Nice Initiative" is hereby scheduled for a November 22-24 federal referendum election.

EDIT: The "Honesty in Government Initiative" has acquired 12 signatures and is also scheduled for the November 22-24 federal referendum election.

EDIT: The "We Need More Initiatives Initiative" has acquired 12 signatures and is also scheduled for the November 22-24 federal referendum election.

On what date is the next election?

[homelycooking]

The December At-Large Senate election will be held on Friday, December 13, Saturday, December 14 and Sunday, December 15.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

Mr. Secretary,

Senator Napoleon has resigned his At-Large Senate Seat #1 and thus needs to be filled in accordance with the Constitution.

Regards,
Senator North Carolina Yankee,
Senate President Pro-Tempore.

Not sure if a Special is in order based on the timing of the resignation. I would assume so though since the session doesn't end until January 3rd.
