I made this bill to show that we're ready (although I'm on the undecided) whatever happens to our region. Whether we will be pursuing with devolution or independence.

Any way we can have an amendment that allows members of the Assembly to simultaneously serve in these positions? Otherwise, they're likely to remain unfilled far into the future.

Which likely violates the federal constitution.  There is a strict limit on dual office holding in the Atlasian constitution.  The only exception is for Senators serving in the President's cabinet.  There is no special dispensation for regional offices.

Abstain.

I'll double check the constitution, but I think this will be on the October ballot, not the September ballot.  It missed the deadline for September by a few days.
