Now, this is quite urgent, because the Elections start June, 15, and if we pass this, I'll have to also notify the Chancery that we're going to have our own elections. This act is another temporary act, because who knew in advance we'll have Senatorial elections this term as well? After the elections, L'Etats should consider solidifying a law that would encompass Cézembrean elections in general, both Sénéchal and Lord Warden elections.
I didn't really change anything from the last act written by Glüc, because last time it worked, and we don't have time to experiment.
A11: The 52nd Cosa Lord Warden Election Act
Whereas the Cézembrean Senate seat will be contested during the 52nd election, and
Whereas we're not yet ready with a permantnne solution for conducting these elections,
Therefore the upcoming election of the Lord Warden will be conducted by the Sénéchal or his appointed agent in accordance with chapter V of the Cézembrean constitution,
Furthermore the following shall be the procedure for the upcoming election of the Lord Warden:
1. The voting phase of the election shall coïncide with the 52nd Cosa elections and the nomination phase shall be the week preceding the 52nd Cosa elections.
2. If the Conducting Officer, designated by the Constitution decides to run as a candidate, he/she must appoint someone else to act as Conducting Officer in his/her stead.
3. Before the election starts, the person conducting the election must request and be granted access to the Cézembrean section of the electoral database, in accordance with the Provincial Minions Act.
4. All candidates contesting in the election may choose to elect a representative to supervise the elections.
5. A candidate representative as appointed according to clause 4 must be a citizen of Talossa, may not be a candidate in the election, and must request and be granted access to the Cézembrean section of the electoral database, in accordance with the Provincial Minions Act.
6. Before the start of the nomination phase the Conducting Officer will send all voters an email explaining the election procedures. This message must be posted online as well to ensure voters who did not receive the email have the chance to notify the Conducting Officer of the mistake, so it can be fixed.
7. If the Conducting Officer is notified of a change in email address, he/she must report this change to the Chancery.
8. The election will be conducted using Ballotbin or a similar automated ballot that is capable of conducting the elections in accordance with the provisions of this act.
9. The settings of the Bin must be so that the Admins can only see the results after the election, the candidates are presented in random order and the election is conducted using a preferential vote.
10. After the election, the representatives of the candidates will be given access to the admin account of the election.
11. After the election the Conducting Officer will post all the cast ballots, in such a way that they cannot be linked to the voters.
12. The final result will be calculated using Instant Runoff Voting, with ties being decided by random chance in a transparent way.
13. It will be considered a criminal offense for any of the candidate representatives or the Conducting Officer to communicate to anyone about the order in which the candidates voted, how the candidates voted (if known) or the email addresses of the different voters or to use this information in any other way than for the conduct of the elections.
14. Exception to clause 13 can be made when the information is used as evidence in a court case.
15. If there is one sole candidate for the position of Lord Warden at the start of the election, no election will be held and the sole candidate will be considered elected to the position.
