I apologize for my absence. It is a situation that should be remedied this week. In the meantime, here is the legislation for consideration by the Assembly. I would also like to mention how proud I am to belong to a province that is so active it puts the others to shame! For consideration of the Assembly: The Election Act 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.

Nationally-registered parties are still required to register in our province under this proposed law. This would allow for provincial parties to exist without registering nationally, something which I think should be provided-for - even if they don't exist right now.
Elections would occur for two weeks, starting at the same time that national elections start. The Assembly could designate someone to run the elections (like the national Secretary of State), otherwise the responsibility falls on the Senator for our province by default.

I Like the idea that provincial parties can register but it could be problematic if the national parties had to register separately for the provincial assembly.

National Party leaders are very busing in the period coming up to the elections and it would be very easy for them to get snowed under and forget that they have to register their party for provincial elections

If that turns out to be a problem, it's an easy fix: we can simply pass a motion to recognize the national "party statements" as provincial Sticla.
