@Zukchiva I’ve been thinking about this for longer than is healthy so I’m going to give up coming up with a cogent argument for either side - what are your thoughts on adjusting the confirmation vote from simple majority to two-thirds majority so that all confirmation votes have the same majority (confirmation/reconfirmation of Arbiters, Viziers, and Citizenship Officials).

For reference, I’m talking about this:

> [@The Concordat of The East Pacific](https://forum.theeastpacific.com/t/the-concordat-of-the-east-pacific/16243/1):

> # Article D: Security

> **Section 2: The Delegacy**
> 
> 1. The Viziers shall elect a Delegate from amongst themselves to a term of one year. Following election, the Magisterium shall vote on confirming the Delegate. A simple majority vote in favour shall result in the confirmation of the candidate to the office of Delegate, else the Viziers shall begin another election.

On the one hand, I think it makes more sense for all nominations to have the same standard for passing.

On the other hand, I think if someone has gone through a 2/3rds vote of the Praesidum to be nominated as a Vizier, a 2/3rds vote of the Magisterium to be confirmed a Vizier, and a 2/3rds vote of the Praesidum to be nominated as Delegate, a majority vote of the Magisterium isn’t unreasonable.
