I've been adding some data in here, it may be worthwhile for you to check it out!

[Purple State]

I like the integration of the federal and regional election calendars Teddy. Would it be possible to also include (at least the federal) deadlines for registration, absentee, candidacy declaration, etc.? And maybe color coding for federal/regional.

Looks great so far!

[Teddy (IDS Legislator)]

I've updated the deadlines above.

[SPC]

Could you update the candidate list?

[Teddy (IDS Legislator)]

So updated. If you are not on the list please post in the declaration thread ASAP.

[Fritz]

Is there a Special Election being held in the very near future?

[Teddy (IDS Legislator)]

I will look into this. I've been on vacation as of late and may have missed any resignations. Conversely, if anyone knows that there should be a special election, please PM me or post here.

[Fritz]

Well, ummm, yeah...Badger just got confirmed as GM.

[Badger]

I'm now officially an ex-Senator and current GM. My previous at-large senate seat is vacant.

[Senator North Carolina Yankee]

I do beleive that according to protocol, I am the one who is to inform the DoFE that a vacancy has occured.


SoFE Teddy,

Due to the ascension of the At-Large Senator Badger to the office of Game Moderator, his At-Large Senate seat is now vacant and needs to be filled via special election according to the current rules under which Special elections are to be conducted.

Having received notification I hear-by schedule a by-election to occur 10 days from today (October 10th 2010)

[Senator Barnes]

Having received notification I hear-by schedule a by-election to occur 10 days from today (October 10th 2010)

I thought the election took place over an entire weekend?

[Teddy (IDS Legislator)]

Yes, but there is always an official "date" tied to it.

[Fritz]

You're confusing us all, Teddy.  On what day/date will the election begin?

[Teddy (IDS Legislator)]

If my understanding of the law is correct, the election will begin at 00:01 on October 8th and end at 23:59 on october 10th

[Teddy (IDS Legislator)]

Please note that I am ill. While I'll still be around for the next 2-3 days, it wont be for hours at a time.

[Teddy (IDS Legislator)]

I've been looking, but cannot find anything that prohibits Naso from running. If I've missed something, please let me know. This seems extremely fishy.

Also, note that the at-large by-election begins in less than 24 hours.

[Fritz]

He can run, he needs a running mate.
