Are there only 3 seats once again?
We passed a constitutional amendment a few months ago which says the following:
The Assembly shall be composed of five members in an election where six or more candidates have made an official candidate declaration by the ballot deadline established in Article IV, Section 1., Clause 7. The Assembly shall be composed of three members in an election where five or less candidates have made an official declaration by the ballot deadline established in Article IV, Section 1., Clause 7. Members of the Assembly must be registered voters residing in the Mideast Region.

The reason why we came up with this was the lack of activity in the region; it became very hard to find five candidates who wanted to run for the Assembly.
Ah gotcha. I remember the good old days when the assembly was just starting. If we only have conservatives running I may actually think about making a run for a seat, is it still open to someone applying to run?
