The Strategic Registration Amendment [Passed to Regions]

[tmthforu94]

I personally don't think it goes far enough.  It's probably the best that can be achieved, though.

What do you think the Senate could do, Governor Ben, to make this amendment better?

Lt. Gov. PiT suggested the idea to allow people to move if there is a real life move. While that would be ideal, it could be a lot of work for moderators, and there could be some loopholes in this.

What do you think the Senate could do, Governor Ben, to make this amendment better?

I'd like to add in a requirement saying that people must move at least 45 days prior to an election taking place in order to vote in that election.

Well, that could be complicated in a region like ours, where we have elections running every two months. I could consider 15, maybe even 30, though. But you could easily work your way around that. Most parties know which candidates they're running months before the election. That would only make things a little more difficult for them, having to make sure everyone was moved to the right region within 45/30/15 days before the election.

Also, I say we use this opportunity to clarify, in words and on paper, that no 'free moves' are to be allowed.

That's a good idea.

[tmthforu94]

I have a certain soft spot for the 'free move.' It allows people who are new to the game to get more used to it and move to a region they more appreciate. We should still retain some newbie-friendliness.

Unfortunately it also has the potential for great abuse, which is why I'm conflicted. However, if people are going to vote stack, I'd imagine they'd do it in the initial registration, and not necessarily in the free move.

How about, making the free move void after a period of one week?

I propose an amendment to my own bill. Special thanks to Marokai for assisting me on this.

Ugh. All voting on this is doing is slowing up the proccess.
Aye

[tmthforu94]

I'm not too crazy about lowering the limit, honestly. And using "month" instead of "day" is somewhat unfair, thanks to February. Some people might not have to wait as long.

[tmthforu94]

Nay
February throughs things off, so there could be people who would have to wait longer than others. While that isn't a huge deal, it is still unfair.

[tmthforu94]

So what is the purpose of this amendment besides being unfair to members of Atlasia. February throws everything off, so saying 6 months could be inaccurate. 180 days would be more precise, and it would be fair.

[tmthforu94]

Aye
