Thanks, Poirot. A lot of clause 5 honestly seems unnecessary to me, I cleaned it up and came up with this:

I already stated my reasoning on the advanced ballot issue and also the number of required posts. Even if we cut it at 8, there will still be people who will be invalid because they miss it for a few posts. I think 10 keeps it at a reasonable number to ensure we don't have people who only vote on the site and do nothing else. I would be more open to raising it than lowering it, honestly. Both of these items were given to the House to debate but no one else seems to understand how important election regulations are.

I don't agree with raising the post count, but I like this version of Clause 5.

Also, since Tmth's most recent amendment lacks a sponsor, I'll do it.

My two suggestions was to make easier for people. The number of posts is based on personal experience since I don't post much outside Atlasia and if I am not running or holding an office and stay quiet I could have very few posts.

The Senate still needs to pass the amended version, so once again, I ask that the House moves this through.

Poirot had proposed allowing a bigger window for absentee voting and also lowering the registration requirements, but both do have drawbacks, and no representative has bothered with proposing an amendment changing from the status quo. As of now, nothing "needs" to change, per se, and considering the election is this weekend and this still has to pass the Senate again and get the president's signature, I'm asking again that the House passes this (third times a charm?).

We will now move to a final vote. Representatives have 72 hours to vote AYE, NAY, or ABSTAIN.

This bill has enough votes to pass. Representatives have 24 hours to change their votes if they want.
