Voting shall be conducted under IDS Voting Regulations. The method of voting shall be approval voting for Emperor; PR-STV for Legislature.
A voter's ballot is valid only if the voter: (1) is registered with the Atlasian Registrar General as a voter of a Southern state during the entire time that the poll is open; (2) makes only a single post in that election thread; (3) does not edit or delete the post more than one hour after the post has been made; and (4) clearly identifies the contest in which a vote is intended to be applied. Official Ballot: Offices: Emperor [ ] PiT (IB-LA) (i) [ ] Write-in ---- Imperial Legislature [ ] Adam Griffin (LAB-GA) (i) [ ] Jbrase (IB-TX) (i) [ ] Write-in Referenda: Recall And Term Length Amendment of 2012 Article I, Clause 1 of the IDS Constitution shall be amended to read: The Emperor of the Imperial Dominion of the South shall be elected to a term not to exceed 4 months in length. The term shall begin immediately after the results have been declared after the closing of the poll. Article I, Clause 2 of the IDS Constitution shall be amended to read: An election for the office of Emperor shall be held in the months of April, August, and December. This election shall coincide with the elections of other regions, if applicable. Article IV, Clause 2 of the IDS Constitution shall be amended to read: The Citizens of the Imperial Dominion of the South may recall any regional official. A recall petition, which must be a separate thread on the Atlas Fantasy Elections board, must have the signatures of 50% of the number of voters in the last election for that position (except for unelected offices, which must be equivalent to 25% of voters registered in the Imperial Dominion of the South), and said signatures must be attained in a time less than two weeks in order to be brought before the electorate in an immediate vote. A voting booth shall be opened by the Governor within 24 hours of receiving the required number of signatures.
