Constitution passed by Convention

[Peter]

The Constitution has been passed by the Convention by 15 votes to none, with two not voting.

We will now have ratification votes in each of the Regions, each lasting exactly one week. The new Constitution must be ratified by all Regions to have effect.

I am "on hand" to answer questions about the new Constitution as they arise, as well as to help the ratification process in any way I can.

Mideast Ratification Vote

Northeast Ratification Vote

Southeast Ratification Vote

Midwest Ratification Vote

Pacific Ratification Vote

All booths are now up.

[Peter]

Most of the Powers were written by Ernest at the time of the Powers Amendment. The rest of it is mostly me with large borrowings from our original Constitution and the US Constitution.

Explicit contradiction was just an enumeration of the concept of judicial review.

[Peter]

Pacific and Midwest booths will be posted as soon as they become available.

I presume that only the Governor can open them?

No specific requirement was mentioned in the Ratification requirements; I think it is presumed it has to be an authorised officer from the Region. e.g. In the Pacific (as well as the Mideast and Southeast) more than just the Governor can open a general voting booth. Presumably the same will happen here.
