Upcoming Elections

[cavebear]

I do have a question about the election process. Who operates it? Is there a definate time/deadline for candidacies to be declared? How is the polling done? Can a person run for, or be elected to, more than one position?

I would suggest a definate deadline and a limitation of one elected position sought per person for a given month.

Yeah, I asked this a little earlier, cavebear. Let's hope we get an answer this time.

Good enough reason for me, I still think having more people participate is better.

I hereby officially renounce any candidature except for the post of Military Advisor. Shaka only volunteered because nobody else would. All other posts have candidates, iirc.

As your military advisor, I promise to quell dissention, explore the unknown, intimidate or kill foreigners, and other such bullying required by our fine armed forces. Darkness will become light (on the map, anyway), and we will remain supreme in the world!

Election polls get set up on the 25th of every month. That's tomorrow, iirc. Who sets up the polls? Whoever gets around to it, I suppose. Show your zeal by opening the poll for the post you seek to win! Election polls should be open for at least 48 hours, so that everybody has time to visit and vote.

Vote Sodaq for Military Advisor!

I think the current President should set up the Election Poll.

The declared candidates I see at the moment are:

APRIL TERM

President -- Shade
Vice-president --

Science Advisor -- MBloomIII
Foreign Advisor -- adamsj and Hydey
Millitary Advisor -- Marquis de Sodaq
Trade Advisor -- El Awrence
City Planner -- cavebear
Imperial Expansion --
Historian --

Does a person remain in office if no one else seeks it?

If this is the case we just need a Imperial Expansion advisor and a vice... and there is only going to be voted between adamsj and Hydey for foreign advisor.
(personally I find this tread pretty confussing ppl nominating and unnominating )

==> voting should start 27 and go on for 3 days so new cabinet can start april first.
(maybe a new tread should be openend so ppl can place the "official 'selfelection' " to get things clearer...and get some ppl for the remaining posts...saying there are ppl who would like voting like the american system every week 1 or 2 posts...I see hell...)

Veni, me in Tartare Sequi.

Marquis de Sodaq for Military

president Shade believes in you

[Shaka Naldur]

as marquis presents himself for military advisor i retire my candidature

and i do the same for imperial expansion, if nobody else presents his candidature i go for it,
somebody if somebody gets confused but i´m trying to help

[Kassiopeia]

I share cavebear's feelings - Marquis here can probably master any post he can get his hands on.
Cavebear - good luck, should you be the next M of CP.

Thank you. Should I be elected, may I contact you about the current state of planning at the time of transition? To get an idea of any actions you had ongoing or planned?

I fully endorse your candidacy for head of Imperial Expansion. Your willingness to serve our Civ is admirable!

[cavebear]

I hereby nominate MBloomIII as Vice President. As the current President, MBloomIII would make the best backup for the President-to-be, Shade, in the event of an emergency. This would be in addition to his declared candidacy for Science Advisor.

As for myself, I've foolishly volunteered to take over as Historian (and yet, have done no writing since posting to that effect). AlbertB, where are you?

Oops, I had overlooked this when compiling my list of interested parties.

-Jrabbit has offerred himself to be Historian, and so should be added to the list:

The declared candidates I see at the moment (amended) are:

APRIL TERM

President -- Shade
Vice-president -- (OPEN)

Science Advisor -- MBloomIII
Foreign Advisor -- adamsj and Hydey
Millitary Advisor -- Marquis de Sodaq
Trade Advisor -- El Awrence
City Planner -- cavebear
Imperial Expansion -- Shaka Naldur
Historian -- -Jrabbit

If no-one else adds him/herself I suggest that nr2 for the foreign advisor post becomes vice...just an idea.
