I am in favor of constitutional reform as long as it truly is an open discussion of all Atlasian members.

[Q]

How do these votes get held?  May only the Governors call them?

How do these votes get held?

Regions may hold the votes according to their normal procedures for initiatives, propositions, or bills.

I believe that every region has a procedure by which private citizens may propose bills. The same procedure could be used to propose a vote on calling a constitutional convention.

I think we've had enough debate.  There are enough particiapnts for a constitutional convention to begin.  I'd really like to discuss the government and the changes it needs.

Unfortunately, the convention cannot be called until a majority of the regions request it. Currently, the Mideast and Midwest are holding votes on whether a convention should be called.

The Northeast is not holding a vote, but you could request one, as you reside there.

Emsworth-do I call a vote by asking my governor? or do i do it all by myself?

Your Governor will administer the vote if you acquire the requisite amount of support amongst the population. I believe that this means you need 2 other people to support your request in the case of NE law. The Governor may waive that requirement and hold the vote anyway.

A notice to those interested parties. The vote held in the Midwest failed (2-6-5).
