Azul!
When Marc Moisan was naturalized, he was assigned, apparently, to Atatürk Province by the previous administration. However, under Talossan law, any province that has more than 20% of the national population is "closed," and a citizen who would otherwise be assigned to that province is shifted to the next province that doesn't meet the 20% threshold.
By my calculations, Marc should have been assigned not to Atatürk but to the next province on the list, which is Cézembre.
Now, since he has already been officially assigned to Atatürk and has voted (in the last general election) from that province, should he remain in Atatürk, or should his provincial assignment be corrected to Cézembre?
It won't have a huge impact on the election so my first instinct is to let Marc make the decision himself of what province he wants to be assigned to (between the two in question). But legally, I'm not sure this is the proper way to go.
Anyone want to chime in on this, especially Marc?
Thanks,
