Title: SENATE BILL: Empowering Regions in Federal Elections...Amendment (STR) Post by: Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee on April 17, 2012, 09:40:17 PM Quote Empowering Regions in Federal Elections Take Three Amendment 1. A region's governing body shall have the authority to determine procedures for administration of voting and certification of election results for their own Class A Senate elections currently scheduled in the months of February, June, and October. 2. A region's governing body may determine the means of election to Class A Senate election. 3. To ensure a fair process of election, any alternative system of voting chosen by the region's governing body for Class A Senate elections must be conducted in public, on-site, and may not disqualify any candidate meeting the qualifications set in the Constitution. 4. If a region fails to open a vote for their Senator within 12 hours of when polls must open, a Federal Officer of the Executive Branch shall open the vote on behalf of the region.

Senators have 24 hours to object.
Title: Re: SENATE BILL: Empowering Regions in Federal Elections...Amendment (Debating) Post by: Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee on April 18, 2012, 08:08:02 PM We will have a vote here soon, and I would ask that the Senators make haste in voting on it. I am tired of the delays here.
This fixes the mistake in the previous one and is intended to be rammed through quickly since the other one was found to have a problem after it passed. Since the messed up one was unanimous, I don't expect opposition to this cram down. >:D It is for the good of the Senate. :P Title: Re: SENATE BILL: Empowering Regions in Federal Elections...Amendment (AFV) Post by: Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee on April 18, 2012, 09:57:24 PM With no objections, the motion is adopted.
