Attention citizens of Fiôvâ and Florencia,
as authorised by the Seneschal here, after earlier plans for a referendum, as authorised here were rejected by the CpI, a referendum will soon be held on the proposed merger of the province of Florencia and Fiôvâ into a single province to be called Iarneria and the adoption of the proposed constitution, which can be found here.
Few legal requirements exists with regards to midterm referenda as far as I know, nor do rules need to be approved by the electoral commission, which leaves a lot of discretion to the chancery.
In this thread I will try to update you as good as I can about the procedure and rules of the upcoming referendum as they are now.
This is all dependent on the great work that is being done by our brilliant database admin, Marti-Pair Furxheir S.H.
When does the referendum take place?
Voting will start on the 8th of September and end on the 22nd of September, 19:30 TST (UTC -5)
What will be the question of the referendum?
'Do you support the union of Florencia and Fiova into a single province, under the following constitution (http://www.talossa.ca/iarneria.php) which has been approved by both Provincial legislatures?'
Who will be eligible to vote?
All citizens of Florencia and Fiôvâ who are eligible to vote in General Elections will receive a ballot and will be able to vote.
How do I vote?
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.
Will there be an electoral commission?
There is no legal requirement for this. However, I will contact the members of the Electoral Commission for the 53rd Cosa election. The way I understand it the database is set up in such a way that they will be able to access the same data as during normal elections and should thus be able to check the results if they so choose.
