Oh boy, my region never fails to amuse me! Some things never change, I guess.

But, a few problems I see here.

- Please specify between PM and AM when stating the times the booth is open! As is, it's extremely ambiguous.
- When the booth was made it was still CDT, not CST. Thus the vote was actually started illegally early and, hilariously, an hour before the booth was opened. Just use "Central Time" as that's already defined to adjust for daylight savings time in regional statute.
- WE USE APPROVAL VOTING FOR THESE OFFICES. Specify that in the opening post.
- You're supposed to have a fully tally of the vote when you close the booth. It's in the Constitution.
- IF THE OFFICE OF THE LT. GOVERNOR IS VACANT THEN A SPECIAL ELECTION MUST BE CALLED TO FILL IT. WHY HAS THIS NOT BEEN DONE.
- The region has no rules requiring that a candidate declare a write-in candidacy. Therefore, the Lt. Governor race here was actually as follows (interpreting a ranked list as approval of all candidates listed)

4 SPC
2 John Dibble
1 PiT
1 JBrase
1 KS21

I don't really know what the procedure here would be, but either give the office to SPC (is he even active?) or have a new election for the office since it's "vacant". It can't stay vacant like this.

There's probably some more, but those are the big issues I see, anyway.

I would suggest contacting John Dibble about this legal matter.

Indeed. No matter how much time passes, it seems my region can never effectively manage an election. And I'm always the only one to notice.

For the historically curious among us:

https://uselectionatlas.org/FORUM/index.php?topic=101492.0

I think that's all of them Tongue



Also, opened up a court case thread in the regional govt forum. I mean no ill will to KS21, and will vote for him in the special election, I just get a bit anal sometimes about my region, y'know, actually following its own rules.

I miss being Governor some days. The south was a beacon of hope for all back in those days! Tongue

You're right. I was not elected. But no one else wanted the job, so I was appointed. As far as I am concerned, I am completley legitimate.

Why not just let it slide? We've been good at ignoring the law recently. Afterall, KS21 is a pretty good guy.

     I thought that Lord of Darkness could be filled by appointment. I should have known better, of course. I would like to wait until Dibble rules on the matter before acting in regards to the post of Lord of Darkness.
