All of the votes that have been cast thus far are invalid:

THE ELECTION DOES NOT START UNTIL 0:00 ACCORDING TO ATLAS TIME. PLEASE DO NOT VOTE UNTIL THEN OR YOUR VOTE WILL NOT BE COUNTED.

This special 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, August 22, and ends at 0:00 EDT, Monday, August 25.

Note that voting begins at midnight (0:00 at the Atlas time shown at the top of your browser page) and ends in exactly 72 hours.

Is 0:00 EDT not midnight?

Yes it's midnight. In fact it's 12:30 my time.

Yes but look up at the top of the screen under your name, it says it is 11:30pm not 12:30am.


Also the six void votes first preference are the following:
3 Deus
2 JCL
1 Bacon King

It is midnight, but the default atlas clock shows that it's 11:31. People in the Eastern time zone can start voting at one.

Yes, I thought 0:00 EDT was the time where we started, though I'm perfectly fine with the voided votes thus far.

No, it isn't.  Atlas time is currently 11:31 pm.  If yours says 12:31 am, you have modified the clock yourself.

I've just modified my Atlas clock to say 23:35, so all of these votes are now voided.

Well, I'm about to start with the faux-outrage if these votes are actually going to be voided...

What does the relevant law say? Atlas time or EDT? I can't even find it.

It's EDT.

We're good. See Section 4(3).

The Constitution clearly says Eastern Standard time.  I don't know what you are talking about....show me where it says EDT.
