Based on the idea provided by Paffnia and Mike the Progressive done in previous elections by LUAC the Fund to Advance XKI is proudly hosting the Get Out the Vote Contest for the Senate Elections of NationStates Year 184. In this election two seats are up for grabs: New Republica South (in charge of Political Parties oversight) and Blue Canaria North (in charge of our monthly foreign update). Nominations will begin May 7th and voting will begin May 14th. If necessary the runoff will end on May 24th.
For this election members are encouraged to promote the election. There are several ways to do this and several guidelines regarding it.
1. All messages must be NON PARTISAN. They cannot favor any specific election candidate. The primary purpose of the message should be to encourage voting.
2. Candidates and the current NRS Senator (if not running for reelection) are asked not to participate. All other Citizens are allowed to participate.
3. You can also change your avatar or signature to advertise the election (there is a 750
fee) or post on the RMB (there is a 500 fee). All advertising fees should be payed to The Regional Reserve.
4. If sending messages please post a list in this thread of the nations that you have messaged. Please refrain from messaging active forum-using Islanders or nations that have already been messaged. The Fund will pay 3 per message sent.
5. You are specifically cautioned against sending messages to Cerb and PAI, according to past experience.
In addition to 3 per message sent we will be declaring one winner, one runner up, and up to three honorable mentions at the end of the contest for their efforts to register voters and Get Out the Vote. The winner will earn 1,500 with a 250 bonus if we break the all time voter record for a Senate election. The runner up will earn 500 and each honorable mention will earn 200 . The determination of who wins what awards will be made solely by the Director of the Fund to Advance XKI, HumanSanity. Remember that anything counts as contribution and we would love your assistance.
Feel free to ask any questions you may have.
Thank you,
