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

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! :)

I've updated the deadlines above.

Could you update the candidate list?

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

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

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.

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

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

https://uselectionatlas.org/FORUM/index.php?topic=36934.msg2666652#msg2666652

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.

NC Yankee, PPT

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?

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

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

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

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.

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.

He can run, he needs a running mate.

Corret...ish

Point of Clarification:

Example Election:

Barack Obama/Joe Biden --- 48 votes
Sarah Palin/Glenn Beck --- 46 votes
Sarah Palin/Mitt Romney --- 6 votes

The winner would be Obama and Biden.

While Palin may have got a total of 52 votes herself, remember that according to law a person is not elected, a ticket is. That means that Palin-Beck is considered one entity, while Palin-Romney is another.

The SoFE is planning for a total of 110 ballots to be cast in this election, and is ready should the actual number be far higher or lower than this.

Sample Ballot for the impending Special Election

--------------------------------------------------------------------

This election is held in accordance with Article V of the Constitution and with the Consolidated Electoral System Reform Act.  The special election begins at 23:59 EDT October 7th, and ends at 23:59 EDT, October 10th.

DO NOT EDIT OR DELETE THE POST CONTAINING YOUR BALLOT IN ANY WAY AFTER 20 MINUTES OF ITS BEING POSTED OR YOUR VOTE WILL BE INVALIDATED

The act of campaigning within the election booth is strictly forbidden and will render void any votes made by those who campaign.  The act of campaigning is considered to include, but is not limited to, strong attempts to compel others either to vote or not to vote for one or multiple candidates, or other related activities that could reasonably be construed as a direct attempt to influence how future voters cast their ballots. In other words, this is not a discussion thread. Keep posts to votes only.

However, the Department of Forum Affairs will make every effort to be fair in consideration of the above matter and will give voters the benefit of the doubt.  Explanations of one's vote or simple expressions of approval for a candidate will not be construed as acts of campaigning, unless they obviously violate the above criteria.

Place the numbers 1, 2, etc. in the space provided beside the candidates who you wish to vote for to designate your order of preference for these candidates.  If any other mark or attempt to order the candidates is made, the Department of Forum Affairs will make every effort to deduce voter intent from the content of the ballot, but the warning must be issued that failure to follow the above instructions may result in the invalidation of your ballot in the event of an inability to discern voter intent.  You are an eligible voter in general if you were registered to vote on or before the proper date, and if you made 15 posts in any location within the Atlas Forum in the 8 weeks prior to the commencement of the regular election. In other words, if your name appears on the Census list (https://uselectionatlas.org/FORUM/index.php?topic=116017.0), you can presume you are elegible.  

In the event that you do not support any listed candidate or that you support one or many candidates that are not listed in addition to those that are, you may write in other candidates and include them in your list of preferences.  Space is provided for one such write-in, but as many can be listed as you wish.  In the event that you do not support any listed candidate, and do not wish to write in any candidate, you may place an X or a 1 beside "None of the above", and only beside "None of the above".  In the event that an X or a 1 appears beside "None of the above" on a ballot, all other marks or numbers will be ignored.  It is not permissible under current election law to vote for both "None of the above" and other candidates.

Names of candidates follow in alphabetical order.

Start time is wrong. ;)

How so exactly?

I believe its '"wormyguy", as opposed to "wormguy"

Well, it says "23:59 EDT October 7th", but I was under the impression that the election start after midnight.

Yes, you are quite right! Thats why I like to take a look at these things before going up officially, so I can catch any type-o's >.<


Actually it legally cannot! It must start between midnight on Thursday Morning, and Midnight on Friday Morning. I can pick any time, but due the confusion from last round, I've chosen 23:59 for clarity.

Ah, I see. This is why you're SoFE and not me, Teddy. ;D

Hum, actually technically it could start at 00:01 on Friday Morning, but that would require the election to end at 00:01 on Monday Morning, and that would probably throw people off. I think 23:59 is good to stick to for now :P

Unfortunately, I am still ill, and my medication is kicking in very strongly, and I doubt I can remain awake for the next 35 minutes. I will therefore post this shortly with a notification that voters need to wait 30 minutes before voting.

Bravo on a well-run election Teddy.

Thanks. While I do run into bumps in the road, I am trying to ensure that these things will never be a problem again. The more problems I run into now, the better we will be in the future as I am adding more and more to the Guidebook. My goal is that we will never have repeated problems again.

^^

Note that I've been updating the Candidates list.

Hello,

As JCP Chairman, it is my duty to inform you that the JCP has endorsed HappyWarrior for ME Senator and NCYankee for SE Senator, and both candidates may appear on our ballot line.

Thank you, and noted.

The RPP has endorsed AndrewCT for President on a ticket with RPPer Duke

also noted

Forgot about this one.


The RPP has endorsed the honorable Dallasfan65 for NE Regional Senator and the honorable Hantheguitarman for Governor of the Northeast, which I forgot to include with the endorsement of the honerable AndrewCT.

Gubernatorial elections are a regional affair and not within the purview of this department. I do however note the senatorial endorsement.

Yankee has accepted, and will be listed as such.

I will contact HappyWarrior.


Andrew has accepted, and will be listed as such.


I will contact Dallasfan

HappyWarrior has accepted and will be listed as such.

I've been contacted by the dallasfan team that they accept, but it is a grey zone and I dont think I can accept from a team member without the official say-so of dallas. Therefore I will lodge the request as having come in now (an hour before the deadline) and check in with dallas ASAP to get official confirmation.

EDIT - he has accepted

What are the time deadlines for the fusion thingy? I tried to get it in on time, though I don't know whether or not the endorsed candidates accepted in time. Not that anyone really cares, I'm just curious.

Everyone managed to get in under the deadline, though some by less than an hour.

2 hours before voting begins!

Can the RPP have two tickets running for President with their party name?

I believe that since the RPP endorsed the Andrew/Duke ticket, and not Reaganfan/Dead0man, that the party name should not be put on that ticket.

The RPP has not stricken reaganfan from using the name.

https://uselectionatlas.org/AFEWIKI/index.php/Fusion_Ballot_Reform_Act this relates to this act, which, as I read it, says:

that although official endorsements must come from the party, that the party also retains the right to prohibit someone from running on their party line.

There is about 20 mins to go before the ballot is posted. I am confidant enough that the simple fact that section 4 exists means that section 2 mainly applies to endorsements of candidates not already having the party label.

I have been specifically informed by the RPP chair that the RPP will not be striking Reganfan from using the RPP name. (I, as a citizen asked the chair to do so, but the chair then informed me as SoFE that he will not be doing so)

the department has contacted all but three of the members who have not voted in past elections (save the ones who have specifically requested to not be contacted) to encourage them to vote! I am attempting to contact the remaining three now.

It does not look like we will reach our target of 110 valid votes. We are currently sitting on 106. Currently this, https://uselectionatlas.org/AFEWIKI/index.php/April_2010_Senate_Election is our largest election ever in terms of valid votes. We need 2 more valid votes to push us over the edge and make this the largest election ever in terms of valid votes!

Certification expected by 1am.

FOR PRESIDENT

FIRST ROUND
Fritz/Kalwejt - 52
AndrewCT/AHDuke - 42
Reaganfan/dead0man - 12

There being no ticket capturing 50%+1 of the vote we advance.

SECOND ROUND
Fritz/Kalwejt - 55
AndrewCT/AHDuke - 49

Fritz/Kalwejt is declared the winner of the election to the offices of President and Vice President.

Oh! Wow! Nevermind!!

3 cheers to Kal for doing this already!!

https://uselectionatlas.org/AFEWIKI/index.php/October_2010_Senate_Election

Thanks for providing %, Teddy. My math sucks ;)

https://uselectionatlas.org/AFEWIKI/index.php/October_2010_Presidential_Election#Results

Thanks to help from the AG, we are moving up our schedule. We will spend the next 24 hours cleaning our offices, and updating our calenders for the next season of elections.

This has mostly been done. I will need to look deeper into the constitution for exact dates of the various 2011 elections.

I also plan on PMing governors as their elections approach!

Some real squeakers in this election. Good to see the regions keeping things mostly lively, especially given that the margins in some regions (the IDS in particular) belie the competitiveness of the race.

The bad polls motivated my people to not take it for granted. :P


Not sure if this is necessary but,

SoFE Teddy,

The NE Senate seat is now vacant due to the resignation of Senator Dallasfan65 (POP-MA).

NC Yankee, PPT

Rowan is able to appoint a Senator to sit until November 5th if he so choses.

It feels so weird to have so much "down time" after the election. Is there anything around here that needs doing?

SoFE Teddy,

It is with great saddness that I announce the vacancy of Bacon King's At-Large STV2 Senate seat effective October 31st, due to going 21 consecutive days without any Senate activity.


NC Yankee,
PPT

Edit to reflect the last minute discovery of a vote on the tenth.

At least now I have something to swear at the senate about :P

I'll do all the official departmental etc once I fully wake up in a few hours.

No need to hurry now. Check the thread. It could be a while before an election is held if at all. ;)

I note to the SOFE that I posted official Senate business several minutes before NCYankee noted to you a vacancy, and that leeway is implicitly allowed here with the bylaws saying "not less than 21 days" rather than just "21 days"; in addition, it says "21 days" rather than something like "504 hours" which implies this goes by calender days so my seat would not have been vacant until midnight.

Therefore, I do not consider my seat to be vacant.

I will give time for the courts to examine this at minimum.

Do to a close re-evaluation of the situation, I come to the conclusion that the seat of the Senator in question did not yet become vacant and as such I withdraw the "notification" of this state of affairs having occured.

Also noted.

REQUEST: Vacation

TIME: 36 hours

RATIONALE: drunk

()

You are not president anymore :P

No elections coming up, so yeah, sure

I am still around, but I've had a bout of depression that got really low recently, so I'm on the "recovery". I am always able to respond to anything, but, I am unable to be "pro-active" at this time.

That sucks man, sorry to hear it.

I'm sorry. I've delt with depression off and on since I was 12 or so. I know it's tough. I hope you feel better.

My name is Sewer.

When is the deadline to declare for this December's At Large election?

December 8th

There is a typo on the front page. All of the elections in April are dated February 14th. I have yet to perfect my time travel, and I feel other Atlasians will have difficulty voting in the past. ;)

FYI, I'm running for December Senate elections. ;)

As am I.

Please ensure you also post in the declaration thread so it's all nice 'n legal.

I did. ;)

I did as well.

I did a while ago.

I'll be updating the list shortly :P

It has come to my attention that Libertas has been banned. I will be examining what, if any, impact this will have on elections.

wow

Oh. My. God.

Please, please tell me this is not a bad joke... *joins hands to pray*

It's true !!! :D

What did he do?

It was on grounds of incivility, essentially.

Figures....

Who's ready to play spot the the Libertas sock?!

As the election for his seat is in less than 21 days, there will not be a special election.

That's what I figured. From what I can find, he stops being a senator the day he is banned, but the 21 day thing. I will have to remove him from the list of candidates, and, since he's banned, I can not accept write-ins for him either.

At least that's what I've been able to figure.

A reminder, if anyone wants to be listed under more than one party, they need to contact me (post here or PM me) to let me know, and, the party needs to contact me (post here or PM me) to confirm this is true.

The same applies if a party wishes to bar someone from running on their tag, but, only the party need to contact me in this case.

https://uselectionatlas.org/FORUM/index.php?topic=120461.msg2573768#msg2573768 update to this post to prevent confusion next time. I will also do this kind of update to the calendar moving forward.

So the election is tomorrow ? :o

Yes. Balloting begins in 40 hours or so.

This election is held in accordance with Article V of the third and current Constitution and with the Consolidated Electoral System Reform Act.  The regular election begins at 23:59 EDT, Thursday, December 9th, and ends at 23:59 EDT, Sunday, December 12th.

DO NOT EDIT OR DELETE THE POST CONTAINING YOUR BALLOT IN ANY WAY AFTER 20 MINUTES OF ITS BEING POSTED OR YOUR VOTE WILL BE INVALIDATED

The act of campaigning within the election booth is strictly forbidden and will render void any votes made by those who campaign. The act of campaigning is considered to include, but is not limited to, strong attempts to compel others either to vote or not to vote for one or multiple candidates, or other related activities that could reasonably be construed as a direct attempt to influence how future voters cast their ballots. In other words, this is not a discussion thread. In short, the department will be taking a liberal interpreation of this, so Keep posts to votes only.

Place the numbers 1, 2, etc. in the space provided beside the candidates who you wish to vote for to designate your order of preference for these candidates.  If any other mark or attempt to order the candidates is made, the Department of Forum Affairs will make every effort to deduce voter intent from the content of the ballot, but the warning must be issued that failure to follow the above instructions may result in the invalidation of your ballot in the event of an inability to discern voter intent.  You are an eligible voter in general if you were registered to vote on or before the proper date, and if you made 15 posts in any location within the Atlas Forum in the 8 weeks prior to the commencement of the regular election. In other words, if your name appears on the Census list (https://uselectionatlas.org/FORUM/index.php?topic=127882.0), you can presume you are elegible.  
 
In the event that you do not support any listed candidate or that you support one or many candidates that are not listed in addition to those that are, you may write in other candidates and include them in your list of preferences.  Space is provided for one such write-in, but as many can be listed as you wish.  In the event that you do not support any listed candidate, and do not wish to write in any candidate, you may place an X or a 1 beside "None of the above", and only beside "None of the above".  In the event that an X or a 1 appears beside "None of the above" on a ballot, all other marks or numbers will be ignored.  It is not permissible under current election law to vote for both "None of the above" and other candidates.

Note that voting begins NOW and ends in exactly 72 hours.

Names of candidates follow in alphabetical order.

The above is a sample ballot. I welcome feedback.

Sooo many candidates. Have fun counting this one. :)

Don't highlight the space after the party abbreviation.

So does voting begin now or at 11:59 PM? ???

Actually, there have already been more (https://uselectionatlas.org/AFEWIKI/index.php/April_2008_Senate_Election) or the same number (https://uselectionatlas.org/AFEWIKI/index.php/August_2008_Senate_Election) or almost the same number (https://uselectionatlas.org/AFEWIKI/index.php/April_2010_Senate_Election) of candidates. The idea that this election is particularly overcrowded isn't as evident as it may seem.

This election is held in accordance with Article V of the third and current Constitution and with the Consolidated Electoral System Reform Act.  The regular election begins at 23:59 EDT, Thursday, December 9th, and ends at 23:59 EDT, Sunday, December 12th.

I will check in prior to the election; if I fail to check in between now and 11:58pm, I'd ask another authorized person to post this.

I'm back, and will post the ballot at the proper time.

cough

wait, are we still voting according to EDT ? shouldn't we be on EST now?

(or at least call it AST, if we are waiting until 1 am EST)

Is somebody else authorized?

I remember seeing Lief create a voting booth, so...

If the President is in any capacity to do so, I implore him to open the voting booth immediately.

Wouldn't anyone else in the Administration technically be authorized?

MOTHER @$%#&ER. I"M GOING TO KILL MY GOD DAMN ALARM CLOCK >.<

the President can; and if I understand my FA laws right, so can the RG.

Congrats Phil on these results!

Teddy, it's not to piss you off, but I think your reasoning for closing the vote and thus discounting the votes of Snowguy and Phil. It is clearly stated that the vote shall last for 72 hours, and you opened the booth at 2:23 AM last friday. I think the 72 hours requirements is superior to the requirement that the election should end at due time.

Not that it matters so much, since Snowguy invalidated his vote by editing him 20 minutes and 4 seconds (LOL !!! :P) after voting. But Phil's vote counts, and that gives Lief 16 votes instead of 15.

Phils vote was counted. Snowguys was not because of his edit.

Sorry, that's my mistake. I didn't see RodPresident's vote was invalid.

Yes You Can.

You can draw up a big table with every vote sorted by complete pref. flow. This works better on paper than on anything I've ever seen on a computer (excel and whatnot) because paper is infinitely flexible with subheadings, blank areas etc - improving usability.

Ridiculous.

If this is about my vote being counted, why the hell shouldn't have been counted? I don't understand the controversy.

I think it has more to do with Snowguy's vote not being counted because he edited it 20 minutes and four seconds after posting. One of those "Letter of the Law vs. Spirit of the Law" things.

Personal emergency

away for the time being.

Hope everything is okay.

http://www.ridingbyriding.ca/2004/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=413 full explanation of what happened today.

Secondly. I encourage anyone who wishes to do so, to sue me over snowguy's vote. My feeling is that I can only obey the letter, not the spirit of the law. I want to include as many votes as possible, and thus, and I will make this as clear as possible: I want the court to tell me I should have counted it, so that I may do so in the future.

Oh dear.

I think it's fairly clear, personally, that you did the right thing. Twenty minutes is twenty minutes.

I am now home, with the cats, with the heat on...

6 hours of my life I'll never get back (and $60 too >.< )

You're 100% right about Snowguy, Teddy. It may look ridiculous, but the law is the law.

Yeah, I don't see what you can do about that.

What's that about a fire? The fire was in some other part of the campus, didn't directly impact your building but destroyed the furnace for it? (I guess it's very cold right now, and/or the building not very well insulated, if one day might have led to cats freezing. Or maybe you were just mildly panicking. Although I can sympathize with someone panicking in that situation. ;) )

Good to hear it worked out fine, anyways. :)

So how come, once again, no one notifies people that elections are being held?

We are allowed 20 PM's per hour here at the atlas, and people love to respond to them even when they are crystal clear.

PMing everyone would take 7 hours, which is fine when I'm not busy with other things, unlike this weekend.

If one doesn't even know when there is an election in Atlasia, he is a zombie unworthy to vote.

I hope you people didn't make a law requiring such notification.

Well, sabatoge was the most creative way I've ever seen of delaying finals, Teddy. ;)

Kidding. Glad everything is basically back to normal (- $60 >:().

You are more than welcome to sign my petition:

Also, if you didn't notice in the other thread :

I'm itchin for a deputy. If you are interested, please let me know. No guarantee that any of my applicants will be selected, as it is the President's choice (well mine and his, but if he has someone in mind, I wont oppose him)

I won't take a formal office, but if it can reassure it I manually recalculate the results of many elections, so I'm able to tell you if you do any mistake. ;)

I may be unable to discharge my duties for a time (depending on what's going to happen) and thus I will need something official.

the charger on my laptop is broken :|

God has worked his magic, and my job is now safe.

I'll also invest in a laptop charger some time this week. Until then I will go netless at work. Perhaps I can break myself of this addiction :P

I do have a desktop at home (where I am on right... now)

Anyways, time for some more interesting data ! :D I've collected the second and third preferences for last elections, and here are the results :

First of all, ranked by 1st pref :

Antonio V votes (15)
- Sewer : 6 (40%)
- Bacon King : 3 (20%)
- Ben : 2 (13%)
- Winston : 2 (13%)
- Duke : 1 (7%)
- Lief : 1 (7%)

Lief votes (15)
- Bacon King : 10 (67%)
- Antonio V : 3 (20%)
- Junkie : 1 (7%)
- Exhausted : 1 (7%)

Duke votes (14)
- Junkie : 10 (71%)
- Dallasfan : 3 (21%)
- Bacon King : 1 (7%)

Bacon King votes (13)
- Lief : 9 (69%)
- Dallasfan : 1 (8%)
- Junkie : 1 (8%)
- Sewer : 1 (8%)
- Exhausted : 1 (8%)

Dallasfan votes (11)
- Wormyguy : 10 (91%)
- Duke : 1 (9%)

Junkie votes (10)
- Duke : 6 (60%)
- Keystone Phil : 2 (20%)
- Bacon King : 1 (10%)
- Dallasfan : 1 (10%)

Wormyguy votes (7)
- Dallasfan : 5 (71%)
- Duke : 1 (14%)
- Keystone Phil : 1 (14%)

Sewer votes (5)
- Duke : 2 (40%)
- Antonio V : 1 (20%)
- Winston : 1 (20%)
- Exhausted : 1 (20%)

Ben votes (4)
- Antonio V : 2 (50%)
- Duke : 1 (25%)
- Lief : 1 (25%)

Winston votes (2) went all for Antonio V.

Keystone Phil votes (1) went all for Duke.

Overall, second prefs are shared as follows :
- Bacon King : 15
- Duke : 13
- Junkie : 12
- Lief : 11
- Dallasfan : 10
- Wormyguy : 10
- Antonio V : 8
- Sewer : 7
- Winston : 3
- Keystone Phil : 3
- Ben : 2
- Exhausted : 3

And now for third prefs :
- Dallasfan : 17
- Antonio V : 11
- Keystone Phil : 9
- Junkie : 8
- Winston : 8
- Lief : 7
- Duke : 7
- Bacon King : 7
- Sewer : 6
- Ben : 6
- Wormyguy : 4
- Exhausted : 7

Look at Phil's performance !!! :P

Anyways, most common sets of 3 preferences :
- Duke>Junkie>Dallasfan : 6
- Junkie>Duke>Dallasfan : 6
- Lief>BK>Antonio V : 4
Five trios are tied with 3 votes each.

A kind of "partisanship rate" (the percentage time when someone who has voted for a party's candidate has given his 2nd pref to a candidate of the same party) :
- POP : 15/18 (83%)
- JCP : 21/28 (75%)
- RPP : 16/24 (67%)
- UDL : 17/26 (65%)

SoFE Teddy,

Since I don't beleive I did this before (Since no special was going to be held with regular election so close), the STV3 At-Large Senate seat occupied by Senator Libertas (POP-NY) has been vacated due to the banning of the said Libertas and thus him no longer constituting a poster able to serve as a Senator. Under the Proportional Representation Act (recently amended) the major party to which Libertas belonged is to pick a replacement.

NC Yankee,
President Pro-Tempore of the Senate

This is a neat statistic I wouldn't mind seeing done through past elections. Personally, I'm interested in seeing how the partisanship of the UDL matches up with that of the DA.

"Dont PM List"
Lunar
Joe Republic
Fezzy

Well, it's a kind of big work. :P I've done it for August 2010 :
- JCP : 41/42 (98%) :o
- POP : 20/32 (63%)
- RPP : 16/26 (62%)

I don't have it for other periods, though.

On vacation to the new year; whereupon I shall check my poll thread, and follow the wisdom of the people as a whole.

I've asked Taft4Prez to assist me, and thus, become DSoFE.

I've blocked hash. His inability to behave himself in public has lead me to do so.

If he needs something from the DoFE, I'd ask him to post here; but if he abuses this (IE posting here to question my decision, or, to insult me) I will not read his posts in this thread, and will direct his inquiries to my deputy.

Bumped.

To remind everyone that we're two weeks from an election and this office is still vacant.

EDIT: Sorry. I made this post before I saw the latest posts in the White House thread.

Hopefully, we can have Franzl confirmed in time, to handle this matter :)

If I get confirmed, I'll just bring this old thread back to life as it has a structure I'm comfortable with.

A by-election needs to be held for Oakvale's vacant Senate seat.

As I can't find anything forcing a date, I'm tentatively setting the date of the election at the 14th of July. I will confirm (or change) this date within 48 hours, based on my further research into election law.

14th of July is the only date that I feel to be valid. The law says 10 days of a vacancy, however I believe that Oakvale's appointment may have been at such a time that TODAY is the only day; however, given that I feel the spirit of the law never intended for 24 hours and 77 minutes of time for people to declare their candidacies, and run a full campaign, I'm setting the date as the 14th of July.

Yes, after reading though the laws again and checking all the dates, this is what I am going with. The law actually gives me 7 days to CALL the election, which means, legally, I could call the election 1 minute prior to the polls opening.

Needless to say this is faulty.
https://uselectionatlas.org/AFEWIKI/index.php/Article_I_of_the_Third_Constitution 4. (5)

The law would suggest I must hold the election in 24 hours and 66 minutes, however it is my belief that this part of the Constitution, which would allow me to shaft you, the voters, violates this part of the preamble . It seems thus that our Constitution is Unconstitutional. As it is my judgement that 24 hours is not enough time to declare, and run a full campaign.

Therefore the date is the 14th.

...My first act and I'm already opened myself up to legal challenge :P Ah well, I firmly believe that I am acting in the best interests of democracy here.

In the special election I was in the time was extended well beyond one week, though I don't recall what the legal reasoning was. This issue is definitely worth considering to  fix, but I think your action here is in the right.
If you are planning on using this as the Dept thread, you ought to ask Gustaf to sticky this and unsticky the other one.

Already did, but I should post a notice in the old thread.

Just in case it is required that you are formerly informed so to speak by some law:


;) That should tidy up that loose end.

Thanks yankee, and that's something I want to address. Please read this:
http://www.thestar.com/news/canada/politics/article/985014--elections-canada-powerless-to-prosecute-defiant-social-media-users
The third paragraph.

Also notice this

Elections Canada is powerless to take the initiative. This prevents any bias; IE them from taking the initiative to investigate one person but not another.

Please note that I will (generally) operate under the same rules.

While I may be aware of certain things, I will not take action. If I see that it is important, I may PM the person and (as silly as it sounds) ask you to PM me back, officially letting me know about an event.

I follow the ethical guidelines of Elections Canada. The only person in Canada who can not vote is the Chief Electoral Officer, and I never vote while holding the SoFE position (I always cast invalid ballots to close the booth)

By the same token, I will not take it upon myself (usually) to take the initiative of investigating something. This includes party endorsements. I don't think it's a huge secret that the RPP has an off-atlas forum. The RPP may one day decide to use this forum to endorse someone; and unless I have access to the forum, I'd never know. This may well apply to other parties in the future. This is one of the reasons why I require people to tell me if they are endorsing someone. I also require the person to tell me they are accepting.

The ability for abuse - IE going out of your way to look for helpful things from your friends but not your enemies - is the key reason why I do this. I'm going to make this notice more visible, but note that I will normally operate under Elections Canada rules; and thus, require you guys to let me know about events and other things. I'd ask everyone to keep this in mind when it comes to declaring candidacies, (If you do it in the proper thread, I wont miss it) endorsements (PM me saying you've endorsed someone, and, the endorsee should also PM me saying you accept) and anything else that you think I should be aware of as SoFE.

This does not mean I will stop paying attention. I may still PM people asking them to PM me back. However, I want to hold this office to the highest ethical standards, and thus, I hope you all can understand my rationale behind this.

Thanks.

Well ironically, I do have something you might want to investigate.

I didn't realize that Franzl had resigned prior to the election so this got delayed until you took office.

I'm a stickler for these sort of rules. 20 minutes and 1 second would be "too long" for me!

The Senate By-Election will begin at 11:30pm, New York City time, Thursday Night, and will end 11:30pm, Sunday Night.

BALLOTING IS NOW OPEN

And yes - I realized about 10 minutes ago that my bedroom clock is actually an hour off, which explains why my alarm never went off (I use my cell when getting ready for work); so we'll be using Chicago time *facepalm*

Unofficial Tracker (first round only)
AS OF: Kalwejt

Meeker: 5
TexasGurl: 4
Jbrase: 3

Please note that I may not be online at the moment the polls close. To clarify, they close in about 4 hours and 20 minutes. They close weather or not I've posted in the thread to indicate they are closed.

For those who don't know, I've become very ill.

I don't mean physically.

I spoke to the President, as well as to Homley and Tmth, two people who I trust and who have experience of some sort with counting ballots. I've asked Tmth to help me out as my time is very limited ATM - my schedule has gone haywire - by examining Homley's tracker for errors. I've glanced over the results myself, but am having difficulty concentrating. If all three of us come up with the same result, I will certify it.

Hope you get better, Teddy!  I suggest you take a break from Atlasia; I know how this game can be stressful.

Since I've been given a few weeks off work that'd drive me insane from boredum. Thanks for the concern tho. I am feeling better.

I don't really see anything wrong with Homely's count, but then again, there's a reason I've never lobbied for this position. :P

I consider this to be "Validated but not Certified" Unless tmth PMs me that he found an error I missed, I'll certify this before I go to bed.

Theodore James "Teddy" Tedofsky, SoFE, seen in background, behind wall, at a registration event in Atlasia's newest state.

Teddy, SoFE, appeared at an event today in Atlasia's newest state, comprising many islands of voters that had previously been partially disenfranchised. Teddy made a point that this was part of a campaign to increase turnout in all Atlasian elections. "The last time I held this post I ran this sort of campaign" Teddy said "We went out private letters to all citizens who had not voted before the polls closed in an attempt to ensure they were aware of the election."

"We plan to do the same this time" Teddy continued, adding "we also plan to send out letters to those who are perhaps not as active in political life prior to polls opening, in order to engage the public". Teddy announced that he would take his registration drive to other areas of the country where registration was low, and that until then, he would relax on the beaches of this new state, in order to 'get accustomed to the local culture and way of life'. Teddy is expected to return sometime in August.

We could use a voter drive in the south.

An election is forthcoming on the 18th. More soon!

Election begins in a week plus hours.

Apologies for not being around. I've been having killer allergies. I'm supposed to take 2 anti-histimes but I need to take 4 or 5 just to make the endless sneezing stop - and that puts me to sleep - and upon waking up I begin a new fit of sneezing.

Elections are just around the corner, and begin Thursday night.

Wednesday night a sample ballot will be prepared that will show all the candidates who have registered in time

Noted Write-ins (any campaign for write in that has had more than two people say they plan to vote)
BRTD
(note this will not go on the ballot and is simply for informational purposes)

This election is held in accordance with Article V of the Constitution and with the Consolidated Electoral System Reform Act.  The regular election begins at 23:59, August 18th, and ends at 23:59, August 21st.

DO NOT EDIT OR DELETE THE POST CONTAINING YOUR BALLOT IN ANY WAY AFTER 20 MINUTES OF ITS BEING POSTED OR YOUR VOTE WILL BE INVALIDATED

The act of campaigning within the election booth is strictly forbidden and will render void any votes made by those who campaign.  The act of campaigning is considered to include, but is not limited to, strong attempts to compel others either to vote or not to vote for one or multiple candidates, or other related activities that could reasonably be construed as a direct attempt to influence how future voters cast their ballots. In other words, this is not a discussion thread. Keep posts to votes only.

However, the Department of Forum Affairs will make every effort to be fair in consideration of the above matter and will give voters the benefit of the doubt.  Explanations of one's vote or simple expressions of approval for a candidate will not be construed as acts of campaigning, unless they obviously violate the above criteria.

Place the numbers 1, 2, etc. in the space provided beside the candidates who you wish to vote for to designate your order of preference for these candidates.  If any other mark or attempt to order the candidates is made, the Department of Forum Affairs will make every effort to deduce voter intent from the content of the ballot, but the warning must be issued that failure to follow the above instructions may result in the invalidation of your ballot in the event of an inability to discern voter intent.  You are an eligible voter in general if you were registered to vote on or before the proper date, and if you made 15 posts in any location within the Atlas Forum in the 8 weeks prior to the commencement of the regular election. In other words, if your name appears on the Census list (https://uselectionatlas.org/FORUM/index.php?topic=127882.0), you can presume you are elegible.  

In the event that you do not support any listed candidate or that you support one or many candidates that are not listed in addition to those that are, you may write in other candidates and include them in your list of preferences.  Space is provided for one such write-in, but as many can be listed as you wish.  In the event that you do not support any listed candidate, and do not wish to write in any candidate, you may place an X or a 1 beside "None of the above", and only beside "None of the above".  In the event that an X or a 1 appears beside "None of the above" on a ballot, all other marks or numbers will be ignored.  It is not permissible under current election law to vote for both "None of the above" and other candidates.

The Department of Federal Elections strongly recommends that you preference at least 5 candidates, as there are 5 seats to be filled. Every voter should be reminded, however, that any and all candidates can be preferenced, and that preferences even after 5th preference can still be relevant in the count.

DO NOT VOTE IN THIS BOOTH UNTIL THE GENERAL ELECTION BEGINS (23:59 Eastern Time)! VOTES CAST BEFORE THEN ARE INVALID! In other words, 4 hours from the time of this post. Do not vote until then. Thank you.

Just for clarification, why is Ben on the ballot but not BRTD? I checked the Constitution, and it says the deadline is 24 hours before the earliest possible start of the election. Was Thursday at 12:00am not the earliest possible start, making Wednesday at 12:00am the deadline? It would appear as if he is 13 hours late.

As for why Ben is on the ballot
I always make every effort to be as inclusive as possible, even if it does "bend" the law, as I'd rather "go down in flames" for being too democratic than not democratic enough.

despite that I did check:
https://uselectionatlas.org/FORUM/index.php?topic=139749.0 (title, write-in)

I strongly object. I will challenge this in court if necessary. Ben shouldn't be on the ballot.

You are free to file a petition with the courts.

I see three main options here:

1) Ben is kept on the ballot, BRTD added
2) Ben is removed from the ballot.
3) I will seriously consider having the results invalidated in court.

I hope you don't decide to go with the last option, it sounds like a bunch of unnecessary drama.

I am unable to find this clause you are referring to.

I also can not add BRTD who has clearly started that he is running a write-in

you have 120 seconds to show me the clause if you want ben removed

I've found the article

I meant to say the CESRA, not the Constitution.

https://uselectionatlas.org/AFEWIKI/index.php/CESRA#Section_8:_Candidacy_Declarations

The candidacy declaration deadline for regular elections to the Senate shall be twenty-four hours before the earliest possible commencement of the election and for special elections to the Senate shall be twenty-four hours before the commencement of the election.

https://uselectionatlas.org/AFEWIKI/index.php/Consolidated_Electoral_System_Reform_Act#Section_8:_Candidacy_Declarations

It is my opinion that this is in fact clear and unambigious, and that allowing ben to remain on the ballot would open the department up to un-needed* legal challenge.

*IE I wont go against my own interpretation of the law.

Note that ben was removed due to this being brought to my attention.

While I am always willing to "bend" the law in favour of more democracy, I can not clearly "break" them.

Thank you for the consistency.

It would not be an altasia election without some kind of legalistic drama :P

to do:
Update calendar with clear deadline filing times

Preliminary (un-validated) results have been posted in the ballot thread.

Please note for future reference that if you quit the game between the time you are elected and the time the results are validated (and this window will be expanding as I plan to leave a few hours to find errors) that you will cause a host of problems. Rather, concede defeat, as this allows the election to be re-counted without you as a candidate.

https://uselectionatlas.org/FORUM/index.php?topic=139799.msg3001130#msg3001130

According to what law?

https://uselectionatlas.org/AFEWIKI/index.php/Consolidated_Electoral_System_Reform_Act#Section_12:_Concession_of_Victory

It's the next highest. I had thought I'd have to recount the entire thing.

My understanding is that if he does not concede, then he'll be elected, and IIRC, we'll need to wait some weeks until he's declared inactive. Though, it does allow him to return - but then again the decision to concede is his to make.

Hmm, that's interesting. The wording doesn't quite seem right since it obviously wasn't written with the Proportional Representation Act in mind. How would you count it? Since it just says "greatest number of highest preferences" does that mean it would basically be Ben vs. Shua among everyone's votes?

My understanding, by the use of the word next, means Ben.

Well that's the problem is, that's not how the STV elections work. I don't know who has more highest preferences, but that doesn't sound like the same thing as just re-counting the election without Homely in it.

"the candidate with the next greatest number of highest preference votes"

"greatest" and "next greatest" in this case may not be equal.

next implies that these 5 must have the greatest; the 5 greatest. The implication is that since this is how you win, then the next person to win, should win.

next also limits me. I would need to pick Homely's of 10, and next greatest would be 9, which would exclude Ben. Unless next in this case did include 10.

However

All of this presumes that they are talking about the first ballot. I do not. I presume all of this refers to the final ballot. Otherwise this clause could well force me to elect JBrase to two Senate seats. On the final ballot, the only other name left is that of Ben.

And FTR, I am not playing favs here. If I was Shua would win. This is how I interpret the law as written.

The Proportional Representation Act specifies, in section 3, which sections of the CESRA are applicable to STV elections. Section 12, re: concessions, is not included there, and so might not reasonably be considered applicable or relevant to the present case.

Meh. Seems pretty stupid but if that is the law, that's what I will enforce, and Homely will be pronounced elected.

I'm going to bed at some point and waking up at another point. (clearly). I'll be back in 16 hours for sure, and, for 8 hours between now and then.

Yeah, if you do this stupid sh**t, I will sue.

I'm afraid you are going to have to be far more specific given the options that the law has given me.

FTR my options are as follows:

1 - Just make Shua a Senator.
I'd like to be able to do this, but, my ethics wont allow it.

2 - Go with my original thoughts, have homely declare, and certify/validate Ben as the winner of the 5th seat.
While this was what I was going to do, Jas has pointed out that the law in fact does not allow for it.

3 - Declare homely as the winner of the 5th seat, and let the Senate deal with the problem.
I'd rather not pass the buck, but the law actually seems to suggest that I do so, and I will not go against my own interpretation of the law.

All options are "stupid" really. I'm a bit disappointed that someone would run for Senate then quit the game right after winning. That being said I've quit myself a few times and know the emotions that go into it and I will not "blame" homely for quitting.

Regardless, I find myself somewhere between a sigh and a facepalm.

You need homely to quit after validation and swearing in, which would clearly solve the problem.  Can he not come on for the five minutes it would take to do so later?  :P

That still triggers a by-election.

I'm going to bed in about 2 minutes. I'll thus be awake at near 6pm local. Ideally, Homely will have read this thread and will have some kind of decision.

...Also note that, as was revealed with JBrase was elected, the law is very flawed whenever unexpected things happen like a senator resigns.

Keep in mind that:
A - Homely does not BECOME a Senator until the end of the month. Can he resign from an office he does not hold?
B - Ignoring the above, the date he resigns can impact how long for the by-election by up to 6 days. Ideally he will speak to me in person and I can thumb though all the laws and explain to him exactly what would happen based on his decision.

What am I supposed to do? Concede "defeat" in the election? Swear in and then resign?

You are violating the Campaigning for Invalidation of Votes Act.

A by-election can't take place until a vacancy occurs; and no vacancy can arise in homely's case until at least the start of the next Senate session. IMO, the new Senate can either expel homely early in the session; but the neatest solution would probably be a post-dated resignation by homely.

It's quite common for resignations to be stated as taking effect as of a specified time/date of the resigner's choosing. I can't see why that couldn't also be applicable for the current instance, e.g. homely specifying that he's resigning his office as of 12.01 on the date of swearing-in.

Again I don't follow. You are going to have to be more specific.

I can see you are trying to threaten me to attempt to force me away from doing something, but you are going to have to explain what it is you do not want me to do.

You are not supposed to do anything. The decision is yours. Concessions are impossible under the law.

He would still need to swear in, which he can not do if he's not here.

The one thing that is clear to me however, is that the "fix" to this "problem" no longer falls within the jurisdiction of this department. It's "not my problem" and while that normally wouldn't sit well with me, I just woke up and my allergies are bothering me, so I am very apt to say "fine" to that.

There is nothing I can do regardless one way or another. Therefore...

https://uselectionatlas.org/FORUM/index.php?topic=139799.msg3001499#msg3001499
()

I'm pretty sure Supreme Court jurisprudence would suggest that a swearing-in isn't necessary (though I have no intention of researching the case law). IIRC, the Court has held that persons elected become Senators whether or not they swear-in; though swearing-in is necessary to carry out official duties of their office. I can't imagine any problem arising from a resignation along the lines I outlined earlier.

At any rate, even were it held that swearing-in were necessary, unless practice has changed, it was the case that pre-emptive swearings-in were allowed for previous Senates; so homely could swear-in now and follow-it up with a resignation effective after the time he is due to take office.

Right now I'm stuffing my mouth full of allergy medicine and it's probably going to knock me back to sleep, so I'm in a bit of a bad mood, but in short, it's not my problem anymore. You guys are welcome to discuss it in here however.

You too?  I have to take two Aleve twice a day for a cross country injury.  This morning I took those pills, and two and benedril (I don't remember if they were AM or PM) and have been out of it all day.  Here's to the end of allergy season!

Well either way I think this is something that needs to be fixed for future elections. I'm considering introducing an amendment to the PRA that will deal with this type of situation. Perhaps using the election results to perform another count excluding candidates that already won and/or dropped out for however many seats have been conceded.

I definitely wouldn't support anything other than a by-election for this type of situation. Anything else would allow electoral sabotage to be committed with ease.

I would prefer a by-election be held as well. But as for now, I resign/concede/abdicate. I apologize to the voters who chose me in the recent elections, but I cannot serve as Senator.

I'd prefer giving the candidate the ability to concede any time between the results and their swearing in, with the SoFE recounting the entire election as if that candidate had never run in the first place.

I'll of course enforce any law that is determined.

^ My problem with that is it may result in a candidate winning under original count but not the new one---thus why I think anyone who wins in the original count should win,period.

aye indeed. Perhaps word it in a way that all winning candidates and conceding candidates are left off the ballot when it "recount" takes place.

The Department would like to distancve itself from any comments the SoFE may (or has) made over the past (or future) few hours, on the grounds that the SoFE is, admittedly "drunk" and feels himself "unable to discharge the duties of office untul I wake up hungover tomrarroawh" (sic)


The DoSE would like to express it's non-support of the SoFE being this, as he put it "drunk" while there is a possible, as he put it "vacancy" in the Senate. The DoFE expects a full statement from the SoFE by Monday at 5pm on this issue (all times New York of course) and hops that this can be resolved without further confusion

and barley? :P

The SoFE has a terrible headache.

For those wondering why I've missed messages in the past few days, I will share with you what only a few others know.

A few days ago, I sent my resignation letter to the President. I had grown sick and tired of some things that were happening, or rather, not happening.

It is one thing when someone, who will remain nameless, makes baseless. libellous, and endless personal attacks against me, but it is another when not a single person says a single thing and just stands by, eating popcorn, watching it all "go down". It had gotten to the point that I felt I could no longer do my job with someone who had in the past threatened to find any reason to take me to court. Not because I had done anything wrong specifically, but rather that he wants to "stick it" to me, and this is a convenient way to do so. I felt this person was a threat to my entire department, and thus, the government.

The President, in his wisdom, told me that there was quite some time before I'd be required to interact in any way with this person, and to take some time to think.

In the interim, things have appeared to have improved, and additionally, the attacks stopped, and, others have finally seem to have stood up against this kind of toxic activity that drives away quality players.

Therefore, I'd like to apologize for my inactivity during that period, and, say that I am rescinding my offer of resignation.

Good to hear that you're staying on, Teddy :)

Voting booth to be opened shortly. Sorry, I am ill and was resting.

12 hours or so before I certify.

there were 95 votes made while the booth was open, so I think you must be missing someone.

I can double check but if you have any clue as to who I may have missed I'm open.

Boris?

You are right.

50 to 44.

This will delay final certification a bit as I may have made other errors. Still, I will certify within a few hours.

Fun game! How much do you know about federal election law! (this is to familiarize everyone with the law so they know it when they run)

Pre-Question-Clue:
You might want to read Question 10 first! And yes, you can use the Wiki!

Question 1
When is the next (Presidential) election. Clue: we just passed an amendment related to this.

Question 2
What is the deadline to register to run for said race? And for the concurrent Senate races?

Question 3
When is the next at-large Senate elections?

Question 4
What happens in the event of a tie? Is it different based on the office being run for? If so how?

Question 5
Explain the method used to elect the At-Large senators.

Question 6
Who is the most recent (not current) SoFE

Question 7
What happens if the Candidate resigns? What if it happens in between the registration deadline and the election? Between the opening of the booth and the closing of the booth? Between the closing of the booth and certification? Between certification and taking the seat?

Question 8
Who can not run (IE what are the requirements to run) for Senator, and President

Question 9
What happens to people who are banned from the forum, WRT their registration here in the game?

Question 10
What sources did you use for this! be honest! What wiki pages, and what did you just know?


There are 5 objectives I have for posting the quiz. The quiz ends on the 11th of October (late evening) at which time I reveal the answers and my reationale.

I consider the lack of anyone even trying to answer this not only a personal insult against myself but a personal insult against the department.

If people really think I'm that unimportant, I could always step aside...

those are a lot of questions to try to answer
maybe if you made them multiple choice

There is no try. Only do, and do not.

True or False.  Less reading ;)

You don't have to research anything.

This is the "5 reasons" PM I sent to myself when I posted this originally.


I guess I'll have to look up the dates myself.

Regardless, I am not quitting. That was an empty threat to get people to answer. However, I am still running for Governor, and if elected, I'll have to resign. I'll delay accepting the Governor's post until I am able to run the Federal Election. I don't know if I'll have time to "certify" it, but I will count everything and hand all the documents to the President, so that he can certify if I am unable to.

The JCP endorsed Shua and NCYankee for ME & SE Senate, so they have our permission to appear on the ballot as JCP if they and their party wish.

I wish to be listed as endorsed by the JCP, but would like it clear I haven't changed my party affiliation. Thanks :)

10-4. They will be listed as such.

I'll gladly bear the JCP endorsement if it is not too late to accept such.

It's only too late when the ballot is up. Does your party have any endorsements?

No we do not, unfortunately. No one sought such from our party for some reason. Hard to endorse the invisible man for a second preference somewhere.

I think you accidentally put JCP for the Winfield/Jbrase ticket.

It had to be no more than two months before the election though.

I don't care.  Just giving the information so it's here.

Can we stop posting in the elections thread, please?  :P

Rowan should be on the ballot. The statute that placed the two month limitation on candidacy declarations (https://uselectionatlas.org/AFEWIKI/index.php/Seventh_Amendment_to_the_Consolidated_Electoral_System_Reform_Act) was signed into law on July 23rd, almost an entire month after Rowan declared his candidacy. Legally, he was considered to be a valid candidate as soon as he declared in June, since it was before the two-month law was put into place. If Rowan isn't on the ballot, he could very easily sue and probably win.

Reminder: election ends at midnight. If I'm awake I'll post when it closes.

When I wake up I'll start a countin

Counting will begin (and end) in a few hours.

Certification in an hour

I would like to bring to the attention of the SoFE the fact that ghost_white, who voted in the Mideast Senate Race, is registered in the Northeast, and his vote in that race is therefore invalid.

Hum. I'd not even considered that. I will make the proper changes.

ME and MW raised had concerned raised, either here just now or via PM some time ago without deets. The remainder are certified.

I wish I had a tie with MOPolitico.
However, I did not, as I only won 7 in  the final round.

edit: I'm actually counting 12-7.

These races will have their certification delayed 24 hours to further examine results

Yea, something is wrong, hence I'm going to recount these two races

Since Snowguy was elected President, when will a by-election be held to fill the seat that he will vacate in the Senate? (Don't worry, I've no intention whatsoever of running.)

He needs to resign first, and then the Senate needs to inform me of his vacancy.

The law that requires that a Senate seat be left vacant is definitely worth changing.

As much as I would enjoy holding elections at random dates when I feel like it for whatever office springs to my mind, I can hold general elections on schedule. Anything else must only be held when I am informed of a need for them.

Marokai - 12 - WINNER
Sewer - 6

MOPolitico - 12 - WINNER
Shua - 5
Opebo - 2

()

Is there going to be a special election sometime?

If/when the Senate informs me of a vacancy, there indeed will be.

I suppose this is my job now that I'm PPT again? Well there is indeed a vacancy for Snowguy's old seat.

So noted. I will schedule an election, and announce the data within 24 hours.

Join me in a celebration on December 4th as I celebrate the fact that, as of that date, I'll have been SoFE for 50%+1 of the time said office has existed!

edit
Time in months.
As SoFE
Franzl - 7.5
Teddy - 8.5
As SoFA or SoFE, rounded up
Hatman - 17
Franzl - 12
Gabu - 11
Teddy - 9
Lewis - 7

When Teddy will overtake:
Gabu = end of Jan 2012
Franzl = end of Feb 2012
Hatman = end of Jul 2012
Single Term = New Years 2013

Sample Ballot


This election is held in accordance with Article V of the Constitution and with the Consolidated Electoral System Reform Act.  The special election begins at 23:59 EDT, Thursday, November 17th, and ends at 23:59 EDT, Sunday, November 20th.

DO NOT EDIT OR DELETE THE POST CONTAINING YOUR BALLOT IN ANY WAY AFTER 20 MINUTES OF ITS BEING POSTED OR YOUR VOTE WILL BE INVALIDATED

The act of campaigning within the election booth is strictly forbidden and will render void any votes made by those who campaign. The act of campaigning is considered to include, but is not limited to, strong attempts to compel others either to vote or not to vote for one or multiple candidates, or other related activities that could reasonably be construed as a direct attempt to influence how future voters cast their ballots. In other words, this is not a discussion thread. In short, the department will be taking a liberal interpreation of this, so Keep posts to votes only.

Place the numbers 1, 2, etc. in the space provided beside the candidates who you wish to vote for to designate your order of preference for these candidates.  If any other mark or attempt to order the candidates is made, the Department of Forum Affairs will make every effort to deduce voter intent from the content of the ballot, but the warning must be issued that failure to follow the above instructions may result in the invalidation of your ballot in the event of an inability to discern voter intent.  You are an eligible voter in general if you were registered to vote on or before the proper date, and if you made 15 posts in any location within the Atlas Forum in the 8 weeks prior to the commencement of the regular election. In other words, if your name appears on the Census list (https://uselectionatlas.org/FORUM/index.php?topic=143164.0), you can presume you are elegible.  

In the event that you do not support any listed candidate or that you support one or many candidates that are not listed in addition to those that are, you may write in other candidates and include them in your list of preferences.  Space is provided for one such write-in, but as many can be listed as you wish.  In the event that you do not support any listed candidate, and do not wish to write in any candidate, you may place an X or a 1 beside "None of the above", and only beside "None of the above".  In the event that an X or a 1 appears beside "None of the above" on a ballot, all other marks or numbers will be ignored.  It is not permissible under current election law to vote for both "None of the above" and other candidates.

Note that voting begins at midnight and ends in exactly 72 hours.

Names of candidates follow in alphabetical order.

[ ] Write In: _________________

Those aren't really the same.

the original blah blah was written some time ago.

No spot for write-ins?

Oh right lol I knew I was forgetting something.

If a voter were to write in some campaign message as a vote preference, such as this:


or this:


would you disqualify the vote?

I always interpret as liberally as I can, so the first ballot write-in would be invalid as it does not indicate an individual, but the second ballot would be fully valid. In general that line refers to posting, or discussion.

Just a reminder, I use the word "Clear Intent" when deciding if a vote is valid.

As per
https://uselectionatlas.org/FORUM/index.php?topic=144078.new#new
Teddy is having medical difficulties and *may* be unable to close the booth. Unlikely but just be aware

The chances increase slightly. If I am not able to close the booth you all know when to stop voting, and if you don't hear from me within 24 hours of the end of voting, presume I will be unable to do it.

I'm back and I'll be fine to count whatever is needed

A side note from the SoFE

It's very sad and pathetic that some of these most recent voters, I've had to check the Census to see if they are even Atlasians.

Rather than just complain (as per my last line) about people pumping party supporters, I took it upon myself to do the positive thing, and I contacted people who were online to let them know about the election.
