Delegate Elections; Rules and nominations

This post marks the beginning of TEP's third cycle of Delegate elections. As with Magisterium elections, this will go on in three phases.

Nominations will begin immediately and last for three days (until about this time Friday the 5th). Any Citizen with a nation in TEP may nominate themselves or another such Citizen as a candidate for the Delegacy. This nomination must be seconded by another resident Citizen in this time in order for the nominee to be a candidate. If the nomination is not a self-nomination, the nominee must second their nomination in order to be a candidate.

Nominations are to be conducted here, in this thread. That is the function of this thread beyond this post.

Campaigning will begin as soon as nominations end and will last for four days (until Tuesday the 9th). Candidates will be asked to start threads here explaining their platform and answering questions from other resident Citizens. While this period is short, candidates may create such threads or have such threads created for them as soon as they are nominated.

Voting will begin when campaigning ends and will last for exactly 72 hours, during which a thread for voting will be open and after which it will be closed and the candidate with more votes will be declared the Delegate. Voters will be asked to state the name of the candidate they wish to vote for. It is not necessary to state the name of the voter's own nation; we are already aware of the nations of all eligible voters, which can be viewed at the accompanying list.

May as well do it just in case it's necessary.

I nominate Todd McCloud.

I knew not which to believe, yet longed more and more to cross forever into the unknown land; for doubt and secrecy are the lure of lures, and no new horror can be more terrible than the daily torture of the commonplace.

I accept the nomination! Thank you! :wub:


And although I am unsure if he will accept, I nominate Dyr Nasad, who has done excellent work with the Magisterium and who I believe will do more than a fine job as Delegate.

^_^

I'm sorry, I don't think I can accept this nomination. I do appreciate it, though.

I also nominate Dyr Nasad run in this election.

Nominees may be seconded as many times as there are people willing to second them. The only stipulation is that they must accept the nomination, i.e. they must either nominate themselves or be one of the secondings.

Please keep the thread on topic. If you want to do satirical nominations too, I would be happy to split off a separate thread for that, but this really isn't the place.

Uhm uhm... can't we have some kind of comment by Dyr Nasad, here?

Because it seems to me we're a bit short of possible choices. Personally I wouldn't mind to have a single-candidate-option, but a number of people seems a bit troubled with it.

So... I'm asking you all TEPers two main questions and namely:

  • are single-candidate elections ok for you?
  • if no, aren't YOU ready to candidate yourself and/or convince someone to take part to the rush?

However, do not be alarmed . In case, I'll nominate a peeble and Ronald McDonald as possible opponents! XD

Hmm, would it be okay to nominate more than one person / nation?

If so, I'd like to nominate Allegheny as well.

Nominations should now be at an end. DFD and The Vacationer have been nominated and seconded; in the next couple of days, each should set up a campaign thread explaining their platform. If there isn't enough time (real-life conflicts, etc.) I'm open to extending it.

In light of the progression of the elections thus far, I am extending the campaigning period. I doubt Juthra is the only person who would like to ask a candidate a serious question, and so this period will continue until Tuesday the 9th, on which date voting will begin. Please note that nominees are still welcome to accept their nominations in this time.

In that case if I may, I would like to place a motivational nomination that Todd McCloud reconsider his previous decision and stand again for re-election.

Maybe I should consider it, especially since I don't know if The Vacationer knows he's been seconded, lol. We need this to not be a one-person race, because that'd be worse than pretty much any other alternative in my opinion (well, I can think of worse alternatives, but yeah, lol). But, if I do, I don't know... it'd be bad form to accept a nomination, back out, then accept again. Make me look a little like John Kerry, lol. I probably shouldn't do it though.

I've been watching the Magisterium's thread about term limits, and understand this could be my last chance to run.

um...false? The legislation was going to be for consecutive terms...but I digress...

In keeping with my word, I've decided to not run again. Perhaps next term, but not this one. Sorry turn people around on this one - it's a consequence of trying to work in labs all day these past few days - they must be getting to my head, lol

Now, where is that Vacationer?? He'd better not be on vacation!

Now that the loose ends are tied up, nominations are closed. DFD and The Vacationer have accepted their nominations; Dyr Nasad, Allegheny, and Todd McCloud have declined them.

These decisions are final. DFD and The Vacationer are officially our final Delegate candidates and will comprise the ballot; all other candidates are out of the field. Best wishes to both candidates, and campaigning will continue until voting begins on Tuesday (though of course both candidates are welcome to continue answering questions after this point).
