The voting on the Amendments begins immediately and ends exactly one week later.
There are six amendments proposed: five by me and one by Jas:
https://uselectionatlas.org/FORUM/index.php?topic=96398.0
https://uselectionatlas.org/FORUM/index.php?topic=96311.0
Current Midwest Constitution
As my proposal II and Jas' proposal are on the same subject, they are grouped together. For this amendment only, you may select more than one option, but ranking must be clearly indicated.
For the other amendments, answer either yes or no.
Abstentions do not count towards the total vote - and therefore to the 50% +1 of the total needed for an amendment to pass.

Amendment I: Term length 
Section I, Article II, Clause I is amended to read as follows:
The election of the ilikeverin shall take place on the third weekend of the months of April, August and December on the Gregorian calendar. The election will begin on the Friday of that weekend, and will end one week later.

Amendment II: ilikeverinship Elections Amendment
GMantis' version:
Section I, Article II, Clause II is hereby repealed.
Jas' version:
Section I, Article II, Clause II is amended to read as follows:
Voters will choose whether to retain the incumbent ilikeverin. If more voters choose to remove rather than retain the ilikeverin, an election shall be held the following weekend for the post.


Amendment III: Provision for a special election of the ican'tbelieveit'snotverin
To Section I, Article III is added Clause V, to read as follows:
In case of the ican'tbelieveit'snotverinship falling vacant, a special election will be held on the next weekend, under the rules of the regular election.

Amendment IV: Change of vote system
Section II, Article I, Clause VI is amended to read as follows:
Voting shall be held by the means of Instant-runoff Voting

Amendment V: Reinstation of the original names of the executive leadership in the Midwest
The twenty-fourth Amendment is hereby repealed.
