Notice of Pacific Special Election, May 2012

[bgwah]

I'm announcing that in accordance with the Pacific Constitution, a special election will be held this weekend for the offices of Governor and Lt. Governor. I will open the voting booth if necessary, though I encourage acting Governor Jackson to do so if he is available. Candidates will have until 9:00PM Pacific Standard Time, Thursday May 24th, to declare.

I believe it's better for the Pacific to handle this on it's own if possible, preferably according to the terms of our regional constitution, and I've probably overseen more regional voting booths than anyone (including the last time the Pacific Region missed its election, in August 2006), so hopefully the federal government will back this move.

You're not term-limited from running again, are you?

[bgwah]

You're not term-limited from running again, are you?

I'm running for something else at the moment.

So do you not want me to open a voting booth tonight? The President instructed me to.

Hmm, I'd prefer you didn't. Does the federal government even have the authority to do that? The regional constitution is quite clear that special elections should occur on the weekend.

Furthermore, are there declared candidates yet? I think it's best to allow a few days for declarations/campaigning.

You should listen to the guy in charge.

Sure, I'd rather not have to run some two-bit Pacific election.

Wait, who is in charge?

I thought you were referring to the Rt. Hon. bgwah.

[Senator Napoleon]

If Justice Bgwah doesn't like the President's plan, he can take it to the Court. Or can he?

[Svensson]

I've been told this is where I announce intent to run for the seat.

Who told you that?

Please do it in the Candidate Declaration Thread, and tell me who gave you that bad info so that I know where to send my SoFE myrmidons to break his legs.

[Secretary Polnut]

What was clear was that the Pacific was not able to handle this on it's own.

However, with this turn of events, however late, I'm happy for the Pacific to manage this under their own laws.

Ah, good, so I won't be running some two-bit Pacific election.

Yup, you're safe.

[Svensson]

So. Where can I get someone to make me a campaign banner?

How's this?



(I can make banners for other candidates - of any party - if they like what they see here...)

[Svensson]

Sup, guys.

[Simfan34]

Re-Elect Simfan34?

[homelycooking]

Re-Elect Simfan34?

Try this one.

[Fuzzy]

So how many candidates do were have?

[Svensson]

So how many candidates do were have?

I think I may somehow actually be the only one. I didn't see anyone else declare.

[Svensson]

So, would I be jumping the gun to assume I've been elected?
