WA Delegate Nominations Welcome to the beginning of TEP's fifth cycle of Delegate elections under Concordat. WA Delegate is the executive of The East Pacific and serves for 6 months. The duties of Delegate are found in the Concordat. Citizens that are WA nations in The East Pacific are eligible for office. Nominations will begin here today, Sunday, March 13 and last for four days until Thursday afternoon US Eastern Time. Any Citizen with a nation in TEP may nominate themselves or another Citizen as a candidate for the Delegacy. This nomination must be seconded by another resident Citizen in order for the nominee to be a candidate. If you are not nominating yourself, as nominee you must second your nomination in order to be a candidate. Please decline your nomination if you do not wish to run. Campaigning Will begin upon the first accepted nomination. Campaigning will continue until the morning of Sunday, March 20, when voting begins. Candidates themselves are asked to start a separate thread here to explain their platform and answer questions from other Citizens. Please: - Campaign on your Campaign thread. Please do not campaign all over the forum, the RMB, or by TG. - Be mindful that the trolling and flaming rules apply to elections, too. - Have fun. Voting will begin Sunday, March 20th and will last for exactly 96 hours (4 days), during which a separate thread for voting will be open and after which it will be closed. The candidate with the most votes will be declared the Delegate on Thursday the 17th. It is voter fraud to attempt to gain more than one citizenship - which carries with it the right to vote. Citizens convicted of crimes face the possibility of banishment of all of their nations from the region for life. I want a nice clean election. The nations of all eligible voters can be viewed in the following Citizenship list. If you find an error in that list, please PM me. It's my job to maintain the list. |

DELEGATE NOMINATION PERIOD EXTENDED Nominations for WA Delegate of The East Pacific are extended until Friday with the hope that a couple of contenders will throw their hat in the ring. Thank you for your faith in me, Reziel. It's a big decision and I'll need to think about it. I will give it serious thought. EDIT: Free Pacific States, Drakkengard, and Barb must second their own nominations. Currently we have no candidates. |

Stop that you troublemaker. Citizens nominated by other citizens must second their own nomination and start a campaign thread. AFAIK we have one candidate so far. The others have yet to acknowledge their nomination in this thread. |

I can't suspend voting indefinitely but I get the point, we aren't in any state of emergency, so yeah, I'll be patient. Nominations remain open. If only one nation wanted to run for Magister, that is allowed by Concordat and I would set the voting up like we do the Magisterium for a single Delegate candidate election - it's a vote of confidence. Vote Yes or No. If there are more No votes at the end, the candidate is defeated and nominations are reopened. |

I thank Rez and Pax for their nomination but being delegate would require more dedication than i can currently afford, as i´m about to start on a new job. Hopefully in the future RL will be easier, and i´ll be able to try delegacy. |

As a Citizen, I officially request the Magisterium to authorize the refurnishing of the Delegate's Offices. And higher wages. And some benefit... dunno, unlimited cookies or whatever. That could probably help people considering the Delegacy a sexier position... :lol: |

We have had several nominations but only one candidate at this moment. To encourage involvement, I have now extended nominations from 4 days to 10 days. Nominations remain open. Anyone who wants to run still has an opportunity to nominate themselves and receive the second of any citizen. Concordat requires that Delegates serve for 6 months and that clock is running out. It also requires that Viceroy run elections and it is not uncommon that this requires making tough choices. I live in a county IRL where the democratic process often involves single candidate elections. The US "two party system" is theoretical in some places: not enough people identify with one of the parties to put together what it takes to nominate a credible candidate. It's ideal for citizens to compete for elected positions but there can be too few and too many candidates in any election. If there are no new candidates by Friday evening, voting will begin in the form of aye / yes or nay / no. If a new candidate appears there will be a brief period of campaigning, then a vote. |

In an attempt to get this show on the road, and to place an experienced and well-regarded delegate in office (:fish: Todd :Todd:), I nominate myself. |

Nominations are closed. Given the time constraints, the two candidates have 48 hours to campaign. Voting will begin Sunday afternoon/evening and continue through the vote. |
