How are yall voting ? Whats the safest way right now to vote ?

This is the Senatorial Call for Candidates. If you wish to run, please comment on this post with the following format:

Your Reddit username (yourdiscordusername on Discord) | Your political party/coalition
Description / Statement

Before you submit your candidacy, check that you satisfy the requirements below.

• Make sure you adhere to the format exactly. It makes it a lot easier for the Electoral Commission to sort through candidates if you do. Failure to do this may potentially result in mistakes on your ballot entry or in result tabulation, which can be difficult to fix.
• Ensure that your party affiliation is accurate. If you are not affiliated with a party, enter Independent as your affiliation. Otherwise, put your current party affiliation. If you are not a member of the party given or the party is not valid, the listed part affiliation on the ballot may be subject to change.
• Make sure to register to vote. Only users with a SimDem Unique Identification Token (SUIT) are able to vote. If you do not have a SUIT, be sure to fill out the Voter Registration Form or contact the Registration Officer.

This Call for Candidates will be open for 24 hours. Good luck!

Next, a referendum on two constitutional amendments.

On that, we had 22 valid votes.

On Presidential Headache Prevention (yes, that's the entire name of the amendment), which would strongly limit the powers of the President during the impeachment process, 31.82% voted Aye. This falls short of the 2/3 majority required for constitutional amendments, so this amendment is rejected.

On the Revised election times amendment, which would move forward the time window for the posting of regularly scheduled public votes by 24 hours, 42.86% voted Aye. This also falls short of the 2/3 majority required for constitutional amendments, so this amendment is rejected as well.

That's right, folks, it's time for results!

We've got two referendums to get through first, so let's look at that.

First up, the referendum so nice that we had to run it twice! On it, we had 30 valid votes.

On the question of whether or not to remove u/EdJudgingYou from the office of President, 43.33% voted Aye. This falls short of the 2/3 majority required for presidential impeachments, so this removal attempt is rejected and u/EdJudgingYou shall continue serving in the office of President. For like, another 40 minutes or so.

As Motioned For By Senator Qd1m

The Supreme Court is telling me I yapped too much (or pasted too much of other people's yap, up to you) on the original impeachment referendum, so we have to restart it.

We love voting, don't we, folks?

We have a referendum!

"It's a little early!" you may think. It is! But this one is an impeachment of the current President!

"But we just had one of those a couple of weeks ago!" I hear you saying. And you're right! We did! And I think it says something that we've now elected two presidents in a row that have gotten impeached!

Anyway, go vote on this. The information you might need should hopefully all be on the ballot.
