Under standing order NS 300-4, the Senator for New Republica South is tasked with managing the Grand Debate Hall, overseeing debates and conducting straw polls for when delegate elections are near. The exact passage reads as follows:
[...]
C. Straw polls for delegate, with results posted prior to the opening of delegate candidate declarations
Delegate Straw Polls are undertaken to advise any potential candidates for the position of Delegate about whether there is an interest in them running for office. To accomplish this, the Delegate Straw Poll begins well in advance of Delegate declarations, with the results revealed in time for the Delegate declarations as well. This will give ample time to any candidates to decide whether to run or not.
Method
All forum registered 10000 Islands citizens are eligible to participate in the Delegate Straw Poll. To notify potential voters, I will be sending a forum Personal Message (PM) to everyone with the masking WA 10000 Islander, TITO member, or TITO knight, who have been shown to be active in the past five (5) days. I'll also be sending a PM to all current members of the Council of Nine and TITO Command.
If you are a registered 10000 Islands citizen but have not received a PM from me, you are free to send one to Liberdon .
Each citizen may vote for up to three candidates. Each citizen should vote for any person they believe would make a good 10000 Islands WA Delegate and that they would like to see run for Delegacy.
You vote by sending a PM to Liberdon directly (responding to the PM you received) listing your choices. I will not disclose individual voters' ballots to others. You may not vote for yourself.
You can also only vote for eligible candidates, determined by standing order NS 29-1. The requirements are as stated:
1) Minimum of 10 TITO Battle Stars
2) Minimum of 50 forum posts
TITO members can find current battle star counts in the private war records. If you are a non-TITO member, and are unsure if a candidate has achieved the aforementioned requirements, you are welcome to ask Liberdon .
All TITO Knights are automatically eligible as they have reached 50 battle stars.
Delegate Straw Poll voting will close after six (6) days on the 1st of March. Ballots received after 11:59 pm Central Standard Time (9:59 pm PST, 5:59 am UTC, 12:59 am EST) on the 1st of March will not considered. Results of the Delegate Straw Poll will be posted as soon as convenient subsequently. Results will show the total number of votes for each nation that received votes and the total number of ballots submitted. Results will not include who voted for which nation.
If you have any questions, feel free to ask in this thread or by PM to Liberdon .
