--Polling Station 1: Wittenberg-
The April General Elections to elect the 53rd Cosa, provincial assemblies and 4 senate seats is now active. There are no referenda.
You can find the election rules here or here.
Ballots will be sent today. If you do not receive a ballot today, please send me a pm.
If you believe there is something wrong with the ballot, please contact me ASAP.
HOW TO VOTE
As per the Organic Law, all votes are final, and cannot be retracted, modified or altered in any way: if multiple votes are sent, only the first one is counted. The only exception is that if you vote on the Cosa part, but forgot to vote on the Senate part, you may add your Senate vote before the election deadline using voting method 1, 2, or 4 (see below). The database admin will then manually insert your Senate vote into the database.
There are five ways to vote:
1 ) You can reply to their Ballot email with your vote, provided the PSC code is in the email. Those votes will be entered manually into the Database system.
2 ) You can write a different email (to talossachancery@gmail.com), provided the PSC code is in it. Those votes will be entered manually into the Database system.
3 ) You can vote using the online form: www.talossa.ca/files/vote.php using only your citizen number (available online and in the email) and the PSC code from the email. Those votes will be entered automatically into the Database system.
4 ) You can also vote in this thread. If you have received your vote code (PSC), you should cast your vote in that thread WITH your code. If you have NOT received a code (perhaps we didn't have your email), announce so and vote anyway. The SoS office will attempt to validate your vote.
5 ) You can print the ballot located here at www.talossa.ca/files/votebymail.php and mail it to the address located at the bottom of the ballot. Keep in mind that votes need to arrive before the election deadline to be valid and voting by mail might take long, especially from a location outside western Europe. (NOTICE: the vote by mail ballot has not been fully updated yet. It will be soon. The current version contains spaces for cosa, provincial and senate elections, but not the correct instructions yet. When voting by mail please keep in mind the instructions on the email ballot or here.)
KEEP IN MIND WHEN VOTING
Especially when voting using a different method than the database, keep in mind the following:
* Specify which part you are voting for. Unspecified party votes will only count towards the Cosa election.
* Write-in parties for the Cosa elections cannot receive votes. A write-in vote has the same effect as Present/Invalid.
* For the Senate part, rank as many eligible candidates as you want in order of preference. Do not include one candidate multiple times. Please include a candidate’s full name or citizen number. Ambiguous votes may be rejected. Write-In votes for eligible citizens are allowed.
* Party votes do not count in any way for Senate elections.
* As per the Organic Law, all votes are final, and cannot be retracted, modified or altered in any way: if multiple votes are sent, only the first one is counted. The only exception is that if you vote on the Cosa part, but forgot to vote on the Senate part, you may add your Senate vote before the election deadline using voting method 1, 2, or 4 (see above). The database admin will then manually insert your Senate vote into the database.
