Not at all, I think it's great there's someone else working on this with me Revised for further comment: The size of the Provincial Assembly of Maritiimi-Maxhestic shall be equal to the number of citizens who voted for a registered political party in the most recent election. This is intended to give each individual voter their share of representation in the Assembly. Registration as a political party is simple, and amounts to giving public notice to Maritiimi-Maxhestians a minimum of ten days before the election. This public notice shall be formally called the Sticla, and must be available on request to any potential voter. The Sticla must indicate who is the head of the party. While it is not required to have information about the political positions and advocacies of the party, this is something that is recommended. Elections shall be held in public, and shall begin at the time of national elections. They will be conducted by whoever is chosen unanimously by the outgoing Provincial Assembly; if no one is so chosen, then the Senator for the province shall be required to conduct the election. Elections shall run for exactly two weeks. The head of each party shall distribute seats in the Assembly to citizens of the province. Any citizen may be designated to hold any number of duly assigned seats. Seats may not be reassigned unless first voluntarily relinquished by their Assemblyperson, who may relinquish either all or any of their seats as they choose.

Here is the bill in its entirety that I will be presenting in a couple of days for a vote if no one else has comments or objections.
Whereas our constitution requires that the time and manner of Assembly elections is to be determined by law, and we sure don't have any such laws, and
While custom has guided us in the past, it may be unwise to continue to rely wholly upon it for our provincial electoral governance, and
We wish to create election laws that might stand trial for some cycles, and thereafter be stricken from the statutes and added to the Constitution of our mighty Province, and
Clarity of language and care of design are necessary, and
Since it appears as though the simplest course is the best and most fair to protect the dignity and democracy of our province,
It is resolved by this Assembly that there shall exist a body of law called the "Election Laws for the Province of Maritiimi-Maxhestic". These election laws shall be the only lawful means by which provincial elections shall be conducted, and obedience to them shall be compulsory. Any modifications to these laws shall specifically and fully explained by the Grand General Secretary to the citizens by those means he deems appropriate. At all times the laws shall be publicly available.
The Election Laws for the Province of Maritiimi-Maxhestic shall consist of the following:
The Election Laws for the Province of Maritiimi-Maxhestic
I. The size of the Provincial Assembly of Maritiimi-Maxhestic shall be equal to the number of citizens who voted for a registered political party in the most recent election. This is intended to give each individual voter their share of representation in the Assembly.
II. Registration as a political party is simple, and amounts to giving public notice to Maritiimi-Maxhestians a minimum of ten days before the election. This public notice shall be formally called the Sticla, and must be available on request to any potential voter. The Sticla must indicate who is the head of the party. While it is not required to have information about the political positions and advocacies of the party, this is something that is recommended.
III. Elections shall be held in public, and shall begin at the time of national elections. They will be conducted by whoever is chosen unanimously by the outgoing Provincial Assembly; if no one is so chosen, then the Senator for the province shall be required to conduct the election. Elections shall run for exactly two weeks.
IV. The head of each party shall distribute seats in the Assembly to citizens of the province. Any citizen may be designated to hold any number of duly assigned seats. Seats may not be reassigned unless first voluntarily relinquished by their Assemblyperson, who may relinquish either all or any of their seats as they choose.

As there have been no comment on S:r Davis Election law i would like to suggest that we move to a vote on this matter so hopefully we have election laws in time for the next election.

Current national law will stand, as before, so there won't be any problems. I wish we could have gotten this bill passed, but we'll do it next term. I actually want to sincerely thank you, Istefan - it's been good to have someone else working on these things with a close eye.

Despite repeated appeals, the Cunstaval at the time of passage (Al Simmerman) never acted. He is now absent entirely and we have no replacement. It seemed to me to be fait accompli for our constitution, unless other action is taken.

I believe we should notify the SoS we are requesting he run our election again. Afterwards - assuming I am re-elected - I will put up the election law for another vote.
